Hi All,
This is for those who want to visualize their instrument's focal-plane CCD
geometry. Read no further if this does not interest you.
The rather basic ChipLayout module has been updated with a more proper
algorithm and loads of new features. Prior to now, it only plotted the trim
region of all CCD in the mosaic. The new features include:
- prescan/overscan region plotting
- ability to plot an arbitrary set of chips (defaults to all)
- switches to turn off prescan region, overscan region, and origin
marker plotting
- aspect ratio preservation
Please see the docstrings in $AWEPIPE/astro/instrument/ChipLayout.py for the
details. Thank you.
Cheers,
-=John
