It will be updated as we continue to develop and improve -Funtools. The up-to-date version can be found <A -HREF="http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/funtools/changelog.html">here</A>. - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b28 (06/26/01)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> In funcnts, removed extra new-lines from the primary table, -inadvertently added in cases where zero-area rows are skipped. - -<P> -<LI> Added code to support columns in binary tables that do not have names. - -<P> -<LI> Changed the ds9 radial plot so that the radius (x value) for each -plotted point is taken to be the middle of the annulus, (Rin+Rout)/2, -instead of just the inner annulus, Rin. - -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b27 (06/21/01)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Added missing new-lines in funcnts primary tables that did not -have -r switch. - -<P> -<LI> Filtering with dynamic shared objects (gcc only) now links the -region code into the shared object, instead of relying on finding the -region code in global space. - -<P> -<LI> A few minor changes to column headers in funcnts. -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b26 (05/21/01)</H2> -<UL> -<P> -<LI> Fixed funcnts to work properly when the background region -overlaps the source and therefore explicitly excludes the source. -It was simply ignoring the source regions in such a case. - -<P> -Added a second DS9 init file, funcnts2.ds9, which contains funcnts -and radial profile routines that work from the image stored in DS9's -memory, rather than the original FITS file. This is useful in cases -where no original FITS file exists (e.g., a temp file was created -by a program and sent to DS9). - -<P> -<LI> Fixed funcnts so that region specified with a variable number of -arguments must come last (as is the case with panda and the n= -accelerator). Thus, a region specification such as "pie 504 512 10 20 -30 & circle 504 512 10" is now properly an error. Using "circle 504 512 10 -& pie 504 512 10 20 30" instead ensures that the circle is applied to -each pie. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed funcnts output of radii/angles when boolean expressions -such as "pie & annulus" are specified. - -<P> -<LI> Enhanced funcnts so that -r outputs valid radii for circular regions. - -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b25 (4/19/01)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Added support to funtable to generate a FITS binary table -from an image. By default, a 3-column table is generated, where the -columns are "X", "Y", and "VALUE". For each pixel in the image, a -single row (event) is generated with the "X" and "Y" columns assigned -the dim1 and dim2 values of the image pixel, respectively and the -"VALUE" column assigned the value of the pixel. If the -i -("individual" rows) switch is specified, then only the "X" and "Y" -columns are generated. However the number of rows (events) are written -out for each image pixel is equal to the value of that image pixel(or -1, whichever is larger). - -<P> -<LI> Added -z switch to funcnts to display shapes in primary table -that have no area. This is useful when automatic processing assumes -that there are a set number of rows. - -<P> -<LI> Reworked how the "$region" column is handled. A "$region" column -can now be added to a table already having a "region" column. If a -"region" column already exists, the new column will be "region1". If -that exists, we try "region2", etc. - -<P> -<LI> Added the header parameters EXTNAME="IMAGE" and EXTVER=1 when an -image extension of created automatically. - -<P> -<LI> When funcnts is run with -r, the rad1, rad2, ang1, and ang2 columns -are filled in with "NA" if the shape is not annulus, pie, or panda (instead -of being left blank). - -<P> -<LI> Changed funcnts to display arc-sec/pixel instead of degrees/pixel in the -output header. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in FunColumnSelect() that prevented a new table from -being created that consists only of new columns. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed processing of blank values in FunImageRowGet() (was a SEGV). - -<P> -<LI> Fixed fundisp processing of images (SEGV upon completion, trying to -free space only used by tables). - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in funcalc which left executable in /tmp space if -n -(no execute) was specified. - -<P> -<LI>Fixed various bugs processing raw event files, especially on -little-endian machines and reading these files via stdin. - -<P> -<LI> Changed rad1, rad2 columns to radius1, radius2 in funcnts. - -<P> -<LI> Purified dynamically loaded filter code (since purify now can work -with gcc). - -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b24 (03/26/01)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> First release of <B>funcalc</B>, the Funtools table calculator. -funcalc is a calculator program that allows arbitrary -expressions to be constructed, compiled, and executed on columns in a -Funtools table (FITS binary table or raw event file). It works by -integrating user-supplied expression(s) into a template C program, -then compiling and executing the program. funcalc expressions -are valid C statements, although some important simplifications (such -as automatic declaration of variables) are supported. - -Within a funcalc expression, reference is made to a -column of the <B>current</B> row using the C syntax -<B>cur->[colname]</B>, e.g. cur->x, cur->pha, etc. Local scalar -variables can either be defined using C syntax at very the beginning -of the expression, or else they can be defined automatically by -funcalc (to be of type double). Thus, for example, a swap of -columns x and y in a table can be performed using either of the following -equivalent funcalc expressions: -<PRE> - double temp; - temp = cur->x; - cur->x = cur->y; - cur->y = temp; -</PRE> -or: -<PRE> - temp = cur->x; - cur->x = cur->y; - cur->y = temp; -</PRE> -When this expression is executed using a command such as: -<PRE> - funcalc -f swap.expr itest.ev otest.ev -</PRE> -the resulting file will have values of the x and y columns swapped. -Many other features are available in funcalc to make table -manipulation easy. See the Funtools program.html documentation. - -<P> -<LI> First release of the <B>funtools.ds9</B> set-up file for adding -Funtools analysis programs to the DS9 Analysis menu. This set-up file -is installed in the same bin directory where Funtools programs are -installed and can be loaded into DS9 from the <B>Load Analysis -Commands ...</B> option of the <B>Analysis</B> menu. Alternatively, -you can tell DS9 to load this file each time it starts by adding the -file to the <B>Edit</B>-><B>Preferences</B>-><B>Analysis -Menu</B>-><B>Analysis File</B> menu option. - -<P> -<LI> Added support for non-integral binning of binary tables. The bincols -specifier on the command line now can take the form: -<PRE> - bincols=([xname[:tlmin[:tlmax:[binsiz]]]],[yname[:tlmin[:tlmax[:binsiz]]]]) -</PRE> -where the tlmin, tlmax, and binsiz specifiers determine the image binning -dimensions: -<PRE> - dim = (tlmax - tlmin)/binsiz (floating point data) - dim = (tlmax - tlmin)/binsiz + 1 (integer data) -</PRE> -These tlmin, tlmax, and binsiz specifiers can be omitted if TLMIN, -TLMAX, and TDBIN header parameters (respectively) are present in the -FITS binary table header for the column in question. Note that if -only one parameter is specified, it is assumed to be tlmax, and tlmin -defaults to 1. If two parameters are specified, they are assumed to be -tlmin and tlmax. - -<P> -<LI> Added "mask=transparent" support to the plist argument in -FunTableRowGet(). If this string is passed in the call's plist -argument, then all events are passed back to the user. This is useful -when FunColumnSelect() specifies "$region" as a column in order to -return the regionid value for each event. In such a case, events -found in a region have regionid >0, events passing the filter but not -in a region have regionid == -1, events not passing the filter have -regionid ==0. - -<P> -<LI> Added FUN_WCS0 to the FUN_WCS option available to FunInfoGet(). -The original FUN_WCS option returns WCS Library handle (for use with -Doug Mink's wcssubs library) suitable for use with images, regardless -of whether the data are images or tables. For this structure, the WCS -reference point (CRPIX) has been converted to image coordinates if the -underlying file is a table (and therefore in physical coordinates). The -new FUN_WCS0 structure has not had its WCS reference point converted -to image coordinates. It therefore is useful when passing processing -physical coordinates from a table. - -<P> -<LI> Added -G switch to funcnts to print out floating point values -with maximum %.14g precision. - -<P> -<LI> Added -l switch to fundisp, which displays the pixels of an image as -a list with X, Y, VAL columns. - -<P> -<LI> Added support for images to funhist. The program will create -a histogram of the values found in each pixel, or it can perform -a projection over either axis. - -<P> -<LI> All Funtools programs now accept "-" to mean "stdin" or "stdout", -when the io mode is "r" or "w", respectively. - -<P> -<LI> Changed behavior of the prec (precision) argument in FunParamPutd() -(and the underlying fitsy routine ft_cardfmt()) so that if the double -value being put is less than 0.1 or greater than or equal to -10**(20-2-prec), then %20.[prec]e format is used, otherwise -%20.[prec]f format is used. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed behavior of "merge=replace" in FunColumnSelect() so that if -tlmin/tlmax values are not specified in the replacing column, but are -specified in the replaced column, then the original tlmin/tlmax values -are used in the replacing column. - -<P> -<LI> Improved funcnts error-handling when no valid region is specified. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed region parsing of '#' comment character so that comments -are terminated by new-lines, but not ';'. This is more intuitive behavior. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed region parser so that a region (without parens), followed by -a column expression (e.g., "circle 5 5 1,pha==4") is processed correctly. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed funcnts so that the timecorr parameter specified by -t -[timecorr] can be in lower case. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed panda region shapes when processing a blocked image. The -number of pies and number of annuli (args 5 and 8) were incorrectly -being divided by the block factor (i.e., they were being treated as -sizes). - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in funcnts that resulted in slightly smaller -integerized pixel boundaries being used when filtering events. This -does not affect ordinary event filtering(in fundisp, funtable, etc.). -In funcnts (which filters binary table events using image-style pixel -filtering), this bug could result in fewer photons being counted than -is the case when the equivalent image is used. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed funcnts to work with raw event files on little-endian machines. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed funhist so that it will read data from a pipe. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed region parser (and funcnts) so that an include file ending -with a comment stops the comment at the end of the include file. - -<P> -<LI> Clarified the meaning of the "," operator (should it be "or" or -"and") between a region and a non-region expression in a filter: if -the second operand in the expression contains a region, the operator -is "or", otherwise it is "and". - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in funmerge, which was not handling integerization of -negatively-valued physical pixels properly (not actually used in any -known application). - -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b23 (02/16/01)</H2> -<UL> -<P> -<LI> Fixed funcnts to report area correctly in arc-seconds. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed funcnts to report radii correctly when summing. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in fundisp: a SEGV when trying to display an ASCII column -from a binary table. - -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b22 (02/15/01)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Funcnts now will automatically output appropriate columns from -the primary table in units of arc-seconds instead of pixels if WCS info -is present. Use -p to force the output to be in pixels. - -<P> -<LI> Added qualitative exposure correction to funcnts by means of the switch -"-e source_exp[;background_exp]". For each region, the average exposure is -calculated and net counts (and background) are divided by the average -exposure. See programs.html for more info. - -<P> -<LI> Added qualitative time correction to funcnts by means of the switch -"-t source_time[;background_time]". The net counts (and background) are -divided by this time. See programs.html for more info. - -<P> -<LI> Improved funcnts output. For example, column units are displayed -(since surf_bri units now can be cnts/pix**2, cnts/arcsec**2, etc.) - -<P> -<LI> Changed funcnts.gnuplot and funhist.gnuplot scripts to funcnts.plot -and funhist.plot, respectively. The new scripts take an argument -such as "gnuplot" or "ds9" and output data appropriate for each -target. Also enhanced funcnts.plot so that it senses the axis units -automatically. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in funcnts when handling regions whose centers are out of the -image. Processing often resulted in BUS ERROR or zero counts, and it took -forever to reach those results - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in FunImagePut() when outputting float data on -little-endian machines (PCs/Dec Alpha) -- an erroneous error was -signaled trying to convert from native to IEEE before writing. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in fundisp when displaying the mask of a double/float -image using the mask=all option. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in fitsy/headimage/ft_imageloadhead(fits), in which the -default value for LTV[1,2] was incorrectly set to 1.0, not 0.0. This -means that region physical coordinates applied to FITS images and -arrays that did not have LTM/LTV keywords were 1 pixel off. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed obscure bug in region circle processing when a block factor -is specified in the section command but the circle has radius less -than the block. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in FunImageGet which was returning the full image in -cases where a region was specified but no image pixels were in the -region. An empty image is now returned. -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b21 (02/01/01)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> In funcnts, added ability to specify a separate background file. -When using a separate background file, the background area will be -normalized by the ration of the pixel sizes of the two files, if -requisite WCS info is available. - -<P> -<LI> In funcnts, added -r switch to output radii (and angle) -information. This is useful with annulus and panda shapes when -plotting radial profiles. An example plot script, funcnts.gnuplot, is -available for use with gnuplot (3.7 and higher): -<PRE> - funcnts ... | funcnts.gnuplot -</PRE> - -<P> -<LI> First version of the funhist program, which creates a 1D -histogram by binning the specified column in a binary table. The -tabular output can be plotted using funhist.gnuplot: -<PRE> - funhist snr.ev x | funhist.gnuplot -</PRE> - -<P> -<LI> Added additional error messages to funcnts when invalid binning -parameters are found for one or more binary table binning columns. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in FunImagePut() which sometimes occurred when -dimensions were passed in the calling sequence. If, in addition, a -reference handle was passed in the FunOpen() call, then the output -dimensions are erroneously taken from the reference file, not the -passed dimensions. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in filter lex code (filt.l) in which yyrestart was -being called incorrectly with the string to be parsed as the argument -(should be NULL). - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in filter code in which the Sun cc compiler was creating -a useless .o file in the working directory. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in region parser which made it impossible to specify -angles with a 'd' or 'r' suffix unless WCS info was in the file. (The -use of 'd' or 'r' with angle is independent of WCS but the check was -there anyway.) - -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b20 (11/29/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Fixed a serious bug in which exclude regions were being ignored -when multiple annuli were specified. That is, in a region specification -such as: -<PRE> - annulus 512 512 0 100 n=4; -circle 510 510 20 -</PRE> -or -<PRE> - annulus 512 512 0 25 50 75 100; -circle 510 510 20 -</PRE> -the excluded region was not being sensed properly. Note that -single regions did work properly with exclude regions. - -<P> -<LI> Optimized funcnts so that the time for processing an event list -(binary table) is no longer proportional to the number of pixels in -the image. The unoptimized code was taking forever with Chandra ACIS -images (8192**2 pixels), even with relatively few events. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bugs that gave incorrect answers when image regions were -combined with image sections. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in parsing image section of the form: "foo.fits[*,6:9,2]", -i.e. the default ("*") x dimensions, followed by specified y dimensions. - -<P> -<LI> Added -g option to funcnts to change some output formats from -12.3f to 12.3g to accommodate display of very small numbers. -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b19 (11/21/00)</H2> -<UL> -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in filter code that caused a SEGV on Solaris machines -when the first specified spatial region is an exclude region. Our -user-supplied qsort/compare algorithm was confusing the Solaris qsort() -routine, causing it to SEGV by trying to process a record prior to the -beginning of the passed array of records. -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b18 (11/13/00)</H2> -<UL> -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in handling bitpix=-32 (single float) images. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed gio gskip routine to better handle skip of 0 bytes. -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b17 (11/10/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Fixed working of $REGION keyword in funtable. - -<P> -<LI> Removed FunFlush() from end of funtable (it was redundant). - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in gopen() handling of "pipe:". - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in gseek() where pipes, streams, and sockets were -not skipping bytes properly (that can do skips, but cannot do other -sorts of seek). - -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b16 (10/23/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Added -s switch to funcnts to support display of summed results -(as well as individual results for each region), i.e. each row in the -summed bkgd-subtracted table contains the sum of counts and areas from -previous rows. - -<P> -<LI> Added -f [format] switch to fundisp to allow control over the -display format for each data type. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in which regions could be incorrectly re-ordered. This -was a problem with annular ellipses and rectangles created by ds9 and -then used in funcnts (the only program where the order of the regions is -important). -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b15 (10/11/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Changed the names of routines FunEventsGet() and FunEventsPut() -to FunTableRowGet() and FunTableRowPut(), respectively. The old names -are still valid (using #define in funtools.h), so no code change is -required. - -<P> -<LI> Changed funevents program name to funtable, in line with API changes. - -<P> -<LI> Renamed FunInfoGet/Put() parameter FUN_EVSIZE to FUN_ROWSIZE, in -order to reflect change from use of "events" to use of "row" in -funtools binary table support. The old name is still supported as -an alias. - -<P> -<LI> Completed first version of funmerge program to merge FITS binary tables. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in line region shape that was causing a SEGV with event data. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed minor compiler warnings using "gcc-Wall". - -<P> -<LI> Added the ability for FunOpen() to open a list of event files and -read events from this list synchronously or asynchronously. This -facility is part of an experimental set of parallel processing -techniques that are being added to funtools. Documentation will be -forthcoming when we know which techniques have value! -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b14 (9/22/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Added first version of funmerge program to merge FITS binary tables. - -<P> -<LI> Changed the output format of funcnts so that the main results -(background-subtracted table) are displayed first. This means that the -result columns always start at line 4 in the file (after a 1-line -comment and a 2-line header) and end at the first blank line. The -fixed format makes it easier for programs such as sed to extract -results for further processing. For example: - -<PRE> - csh> cat fun.sed - 1,/---- .*/d - /^$/,$d - - csh> funcnts snr.ev[pha==1] "annulus 512 512 0 200 n=8" | sed -f fun.sed - 1 49.000 7.000 0.000 0.000 1941 0.025 0.004 - 2 91.000 9.539 0.000 0.000 5884 0.015 0.002 - 3 129.000 11.358 0.000 0.000 9820 0.013 0.001 - 4 159.000 12.610 0.000 0.000 13752 0.012 0.001 - 5 176.000 13.266 0.000 0.000 17652 0.010 0.001 - 6 183.000 13.528 0.000 0.000 21612 0.008 0.001 - 7 137.000 11.705 0.000 0.000 25528 0.005 0.000 - 8 198.000 14.071 0.000 0.000 29420 0.007 0.000 -</PRE> - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in row# processing in which all range was ignored if -lo range value was 1 (e.g., row#=1:7). - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in event header processing in which the multiple -instances of keywords HISTORY, COMMENT, and CONTINUE were not all -being copied from the old to the new header (e.g. in funevents). - -<P> -<LI> Fixed processing of ARRAY() and EVENTS() specifiers in FunOpen(). - -<P> -<LI> Fixed 'make clean' directive so that it also cleans funtools subdirs. -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b12 (9/5/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Improved the performance of panda regions so that the funcnts -"wall time" now is proportional to the size of the panda region, not -the size of the image. (The latter is the case with the pie shape; use -of panda is recommended over pie.) This means that it is possible to -run funcnts on an ACIS file at zoom 1 (8192x8192) in seconds rather -than (tens of) minutes. - -<P> -<LI> Added support for INET sockets to gio and hence, to funtools. -This means that you can read/write from/to sockets on other machines, -creating a distributed pipeline. For example: -<PRE> - on m1: funevents foo.ev m2:1428 - on m2: funevents :1428 m3:1428 - on m3: funevents :1428 ... -</PRE> -etc. Tests indicate that this is faster than pipes on a single -machine, once the CPU is saturated on that machine. (But note that it -is not faster until the CPU is saturated, due to the efficiency of -Unix pipes and the I/O wait time on non-saturated CPUs.) This new -facility implements the parallel processing technique called "process -decomposition" for pipelines, in which a pipeline process is run on -several machines at once, with different machines handling separate -parts of the pipeline process. -<P> -NB: socket support requires that the libraries: -<PRE> - -lsocket -lnsl -</PRE> -be added to the Solaris link line. - -<P> -<LI> Added support for the row#=lo:hi keyword to process specific rows -in a FITS binary table. For example: -<PRE> - funevents "test.ev[row#=3:8]" stdout ... -or - funevents "test.ev[row#=(3,8)]" stdout ... -</PRE> -will only process rows 3 to 8 (inclusive) of the test.ev file. Along -with image section specification, use of the row#= keyword implements -the parallel processing technique called "data decomposition", in -which several copies of a single program operate on different parts of -a single data file. - -<P> -<LI> Added guard code to image region processing to catch illegal event -values. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug when writing FITS image extensions in which dim1, dim2, -and bitpix were being output as 0. - -<P> -<LI> reversed the y row order of displayed images in fundisp, so that pixel -(1,1) is in the lower left corner, as is the case for ds9 image display. -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b11 (8/10/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Fixed annulus accelerators and panda regions -- again. Old -problems (from the original implementation) were uncovered related to -the use of these shapes in boolean expressions. Documented an old -restriction that panda and accelerators must be put last in a boolean -expression and added code to signal an error if they are not placed last. - -<P> -<LI> The behavior of the point shape was changed so that multiple x,y -pairs in a single shape specifier now are assigned different region -ids. This makes the behavior of points and annuli consistent with one -another. -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b10 (8/08/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Fixed annulus accelerators and panda regions. These were -broken when dynamic loading was implemented. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed a bug in the event filter body code (i.e., the basis for -the slave filter program). Reading the data sometimes incorrectly -calculated the number of events being passed -- which only showed up -occasionally on the Alpha! -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b9 (8/03/00)</H2> -<UL> -<P> -<LI> Removed compilation of some extraneous routines from wcs library. -Also renamed wcssubs directory to wcs. - -<P> -<LI> Added calls to hlength() before wcsinit(). This is necessary in -ds9 (and is a safeguard in other programs) because once hlength() is -called before any invocation of wcsinit(), it must always be used. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug in filter code in which CTYPE1 and CTYPE2 param values -were not being passed to wcsinit() as valid FITS strings: the single -quotes were missing. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed a bug in fitsy in which the card buffer was not being -null-terminated properly when a "card insert" call reallocated space -for more cards. - -<P> -<LI> Added protective code so that one cannot set FILTER_PTYPE to -"dynamic" if dynamic filter objects are not available. - -<P> -<LI> Ported to Debian Linux, which (believe it or not) required -removal of extraneous strdup() and strstr() declarations in the code -(apparently these are macros in that version of Debian gcc, so you -cannot declare them). -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b8 (8/01/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Added new filter ptype ("contained"), which builds a separate -process by compiling both the main routine and the region code. This -is different from the "process" ptype, which compiles the main -routine, but links in pre-compiled region code (in order to make the -program build more quickly). It is needed by ds9 so that the latter -does not have to keep track of the compiled region code module. -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b7 (7/25/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Changed filter code so that, in simple cases, we can access the -contents of a file. This is needed so that funcnts can work properly in one -oft-used case, i.e., if the file foo contains: -<PRE> - circle 5 5 1 - circle 4 4 1 -</PRE> -then: -<PRE> - funcnts foo.fits @foo -</PRE> -now will display the 2 regions in its output, instead of displaying the -near useless "@foo". This only works for simple cases where only a file -is input, not in odd combinations like: -<PRE> - funcnts foo.fits "@foo,circle 1 1 1" -</PRE> - -<P> -<LI> Added programming tutorial and enhanced the programming -reference documentation. - -<P> -<LI> Ported to Windows via the Cygwin environment from -RedHat. We tested on an NT box, which has decent multi-tasking -support. Whether it works on Windows95 is unknown. - -<P> -<LI> Upgraded WCS libraries to 2.8.3. - -<P> -<LI> Ported to new and strict SGI C compiler, which uncovered -lots of unused variables, etc. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed FunParamPut status return. -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b6 (7/15/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Ran Purify with each high level program and each funtest -program. -<P> -<LI> Changed behavior of merge=update option of -FunColumnSelect() so that the update of the user column value only -takes place if the user mode has "w" in it. Previously, merge=update -overrode the mode flag and always updated the user value. Note that -all calls to FunColumnSelect with merge=update must change "r" to "rw" -in order to have that user column merged. (The merge=replace already -was checking the mode flag -- the fact that they were doing different -things is a bug.) -<P> -<LI> Added ability to FunOpen extensions by HDU name. (I -thought I had already done this!) -<P> -<LI> Fixed bug that was adding a NULL table at the end of -most binary table files (i.e., those that were not copying the rest of -the input file). -<P> -<LI> Re-ported to Alpha. The problem found most often was the -casting of pointers to ints when doing pointer calculations, i.e.: -<PRE> - char *s, *t; - n = ((int)s - (int)t); -</PRE> -which is invalid on the 64-bit Alpha. Instead use: -<PRE> - char *s, *t; - n = (s - t); -</PRE> -Also broadened the check for use of dlopen in configure to match Alpha's -library configurations (On Alpha, dlopen is in libc). - -<P> -<LI> Changed FunColumnActivate() so that funtools will -process columns in the sorted order specified by that routine. Thus: -<PRE> - fundisp foo.ev "time y x" -</PRE> -will display columns in that order. - -<P> -Sorting does not take place if the activate list contains only exclude -columns (since there is nothing to sort). Also, you can turn off -sorting altogether (mimicking the old behavior) by calling -FunColumnActivate() with a "sort=false" in the plist argument: -<PRE> - FunColumnActivate(fun, "y x", "sort=false"); -</PRE> -or by adding "sort=false" to the activate string itself: -<PRE> - # by default, its sorted - fundisp $E "time y x" - TIME Y X - ---------------- ------- ------- - 6.8500 -7 -7 - 6.8600 -7 -7 -</PRE> -while: -<PRE> - # turn off sorting - ./fundisp $E "time y x sort=false" - X Y TIME - ------- ------- ---------------- - -7 -7 6.8500 - -7 -7 6.8600 - -7 -7 6.8700 -</PRE> -</UL> - -<H2>Beta release 1.0.b5 (7/8/00)</H2> -<UL> - -<P> -<LI> Changed all FunParamSet calls to FunParamPut, to make the -naming consistent with FunImagePut, FunEventsPut, etc. - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bugs preventing tlmin/tlmax from being changed by the -user in binary tables. Also tlmin/tlmax are now written out using a -data type that matches the data type of the respective column. - -<P> -<LI> Extended filter syntax to allow "," as separator between -filename and filters (as well as brackets), i.e.: -<PRE> - foo.fits,events # event extension - foo.fits,pha==1 # filter on default extension - foo.fits,1 # first extension -</PRE> -Note that all but simple expressions will need to be quoted because -of the shell: -<PRE> - foo.fits,pha==1&&pi==2 # & tells shell to run in bkgd - foo.fits,pha==1||pi==2 # similar problems with pipes - foo.fits,circle(1,2,3) # parens are grabbed by shell -</PRE> - -<P> -<LI> Fixed configure so that --with-lib is no longer necessary -to generate a single funtools.a library. Removed this argument from -saoconfig. Note that: -<PRE> - ./configure -</PRE> - -now works properly again, so saoconfig should not be used. - -<P> -<LI> Changed FunFlush() mode argument (single characters) to a -plist argument (keyword arguments). In particular, -<PRE> - FunFlush(fun, "C"); -</PRE> -is now: -<PRE> - FunFlush(fun, "copy=remaining"); -(or FunFlush(fun, "copy=remainder"); ) -</PRE> - -This syntax extension allows FunFlush to support the copy of the -extension associated with the reference handle, which allows one to -copy any extension from an input file to an output file: -<PRE> - /* open a new input extension */ - ifun = FunOpen(...); - /* make this new extension the output reference extension */ - FunInfoPut(ofun, FUN_IFUN, &ifun, 0); - /* copy the current reference extension to output */ - FunFlush(ofun, "copy=reference"); -</PRE> - -<P> -<LI> Fixed bugs in region parser that caused pure floating -point positions (i.e., numbers w/o format characters) always to be -interpreted as pixels. Also fixed galactic and ecliptic conversions. -</UL> - -<HR> -<P> -<A HREF="./help.html">Index to the Funtools Help Pages</A> - -<HR> -<A HREF="./help.html">Index to the Funtools Help Pages</A> - -<H5>Last updated: November 17, 2005</H5> - -</BODY> -</HTML> |
