Description:
Translate a
target list into a graphics attribute list. The program computes some extra columns and parameters
which define how the objects in a target list are to be plotted (that is, the symbol, column and size used
to draw each object). The details required are read from a pre-prepared file, the so-called ’graphics
translation file’.
Usage:
catchartrn
Parameters:
GTFILE = CHARACTER (read)
Name of the
graphics translation file.
CATIN = CHARACTER (read)
Name of the input target list.
CATOUT = CHARACTER (read)
Name of the output graphics attribute list.
TEXT =
CHARACTER (read)
Flag indicating the textual header information to be copied. The valid
responses are: A - all; the output catalogue will contain a complete copy of the header
information for the input catalogue, duplicated as comments, C - (default) copy only the
comments from the input catalogue. In the case of a FITS table the COMMENTS and HISTORY
keywords will be copied. N - none; no textual header information is copied.
QUIET =
LOGICAL (read)
Operate in quiet mode where warnings are suppressed. The permitted
values are: TRUE - quiet mode, FALSE - verbose mode.
Examples:
catchartrn
The
graphics translation file, input and output catalogues will be prompted for. Then the output
catalogue will be written containing a copy of the original catalogue and new columns defining
how the objects are to be plotted. Any comments in the input catalogue will be copied.
catchartrn text=all
The graphics translation file, input and output catalogues will be
prompted for. Then the output catalogue will be written containing a copy of the original
catalogue and new columns defining how the objects are to be plotted. All the header
information in the input catalogue will be duplicated as comments in the output catalogue.
catchartrn text=none
The graphics translation file, input and output catalogues will be
prompted for. Then the output catalogue will be written containing a copy of the original
catalogue and new columns defining how the objects are to be plotted. Any comments in the
input catalogue will not be copied. catchartrn graphics-translation-file input-catalogue
output-catalogue
Here the graphics translation file, input and output catalogues have
been specified on the command line. Because no value was specified for parameter TEXT
the default will be adopted and any comments in the input catalogue will be copied.
