WISARD-CI: the simplified interface to WISARD.

WISARD is a monochromatic image reconstruction program developed for JMMC by S. Meimon and L. Mugnier, available under the CeCILL-B license (see LICENSE and See Licence_CeCILL-B_V1-en.txt).

WISARD-CI is composed of WISARD plus a serie of enhancements and additionnal procedures by G. DUVERT, making WISARD conformant to the Optical Imaging interface requirements, to the OI-FITS format, and to the OImaging GUI available at

WISARD-CI installation:

1. get the SVN repository files
2. put bin/wisard-ci in the PATH:

   PATH=$PATH:/where/is/wisard-ci; export PATH

3. or make a soft link from a $PATH directory to it:

   ln -s /where/is/wisard-ci ~/bin (provided ~/bin exist and is in the PATH of course)

• if you have IDL, you are rich. And you do not have to follow the instructions below. Go to "USAGE".

• if you do not have IDL, you are probably smart and have installed GDL instead.

  • install GDL, the free IDL clone, available as 'gnudatalanguage' in your ditribution (MacOS: "brew tap Homebrew/homebrew-science" and "brew install gnudatalanguage" for example; look for "gnudatalanguage" in debian, ubuntu etc.)

  • eventually, get the source distribution of GDL and follow compilation instructions.

USAGE:

if installation is ok, type "wisard-ci" and read help.

At that moment, you can either use wisard-ci in command line, or tell the GUI that you have a local version of wisard-ci.

You can also call GDL (or IDL) and at the prompt, use the procedure wisardgui.pro. use GDL> cd,"where/is/wisard-ci"; doc_library,"wisardgui" to print the minimum information on wisardgui procedure.

If you have IDL installed: It is the same as for GDL, but you must edit bin/wisard-ci to replace "gdl" by "idl" and possibly add the necessary IDL environment variables (not tested).

To USE a LOCAL INSTALL of WISARD-CI in the OImaging Gui:

This is possible, provided you update the !PATH value in wisard-ci/gdl_startup.pro : it is necessary to find the IDL procedures of idlastro distribution, available at https://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/

You start the local wisard-ci by selecting "WISARD" and not "WISARD (remote)" in the OImaging GUI.

WARNING!:

1. WISARD makes use of the astrolib (https://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/) set of procedures so be sure to have them in your (idl or gdl) !PATH.

2. WISARD uses precompiled OPTIMPACK libraries. See https://cral.univ-lyon1.fr/labo/perso/eric.thiebaut/?Software/OptimPack for details. If you have not a compatible library you'll need to build one. And you are on your own on this.
