NAME
MakeProfiles - make standard 2D profiles on an imageSYNOPSIS
astmkprof [ OPTION...] [Options] [Catalog]DESCRIPTION
MakeProfiles is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.19. MakeProfiles will create a FITS image containing any number of mock astronomical profiles based on an input catalog. All the profiles will be built from the center outwards. First by Monte Carlo integration, then using the central pixel position. The tolerance level specifies when the switch will occur. For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particular the second contains a very comprehensive explanation of MakeProfiles's invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of all the options.- All options and their values:
- $ astmkprof -P
- Inputs/Outputs and options:
- $ info astmkprof
