Modules: Mosaic Coverage

Namelist Trigger: run_mosaic_covj
Output Directory Keyword: RMASK_DIR
Default Output Directory: <output_dir>/RMask
Depends on: Mosaic Interpolate

Important Notes: The preliminary coverage map, covg_map.fits is written to the top level output directory, <output_dir>.


PURPOSE

    This module produces a preliminary coverage map covering the whole FIF for use in the later module Mosaic Rmask. The mosaic may be broken up into tiles in order to avoid memory allocation problems if the mosaic is very large.

PARAMETER BLOCK

    &MOSAICCOVGIN
     TILEMAX_X = 500,
     TILEMAX_Y = 500,
    &END

INPUTS


    TILEMAX_X (Y): (int) the X (Y) size in pixel of a tile when making a large mosaic image. The default values are 500.

OUTPUTS

    Coverage Map Tile Table (covg_TilesList.tbl): A table listing the tiles of the coverage map, including their sizes and offsets in the x- and y-directions from the FIF.

    Coverage Map Tile list (covg_Tile_*.fits): The individual tiles of the coverage map.

    Coverage Map (covg_map.fits): The preliminary coverage map over the whole FIF.

    The output tiles are written into the Rmask/ subdirectory. The preliminary coverage map is written to the top level output directory.
