SPIED-Interactive spiketrum editor

Description:

SPIED allows the user to edit a spiketrum - deleting points and adding new points - in order to control the spectrum obtained by interpolating between the points (e.g. by INTERP or SPIFIT).

Parameters:

SPIKETRUM

The spiketrum to be edited (probably generated either by CSPIKE or by GSPIKE). For more details see HELP FIGARO TECHNIQUES SPIKETRA.

OUTPUT

The name of the resulting edited spiketrum. It may be the same as SPIKETRUM, in which case the result will replace the input in the same file.

COLOUR

The colour for the data to be plotted in. The axes are always plotted in white. The colours allowed are Blue, White, Red, Green, Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow. This only works on a colour display, of course. Fitted data will be plotted in the complementary colour

HIGH

The maximum Y value for the plot.

LOW

The minimum Y value for the plot.

XSTART

The maximum X value for the plot.

XEND

The minimum X value for the plot.

ORDER

The order for the polynomial fit.

QUIT

Used to confirm quitting from application.
