NAME¶
MakeProfiles - make standard 2D profiles on an imageSYNOPSIS¶
astmkprof [OPTION...] [BackgroundImage] CatalogDESCRIPTION¶
MakeProfiles is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.2.33-8a3b. 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 to switch to a latter.For more information, please run any of the following commands. They will respectively show you the `Invoking MakeProfiles' subsection, the complete `MakeProfiles' section, or the full GNU Astronomy Utilities manual. In particular the first contains a very complete explanation of each option.
