Here are some tools that astronomers can use to deal with Fabry-Perot data. This is not yet a first version and new features will be added.

Requirements

This package uses Python 2.7 and the astroconda environment. If you do not have Anaconda installed in your computer yet, please, check the Official Anaconda Webpage with its documentation.

The astroconda documentation is also online and can be found in the Astroconda WebPage.

Get the source code

You can download fp_tools using the link at the top of this page or clone it. The current release version is v0.2.4 and can be downloaded in the link below.

• https://github.com/b1quint/fp_tools/archive/0.2.4.zip

• https://github.com/b1quint/fp_tools/archive/0.2.4.tar.gz

Remove old versions

I had bad experiences upgrading the package so, if you have installed fp_tools in your machine before, I strongly recommend you to uninstall it to avoid cross reference between the packages and scripts.

$ pip uninstall fp_tools

Install

Install the package using pip inside the astroconda VirtualEnv. To do so, open a terminal and do the following:

$ cd /path/to/fp_tools  
$ source activate astroconda  # activate the VirtualEnv
$ pip install . --force-reinstall -I

The --force-reinstall and the -I flags are needed only if you are updating the code. If not, you can ommit them.

Run

After installing the fp_repeat and the fp_cut will be available anywhere in your system, as long as you have the astroconda VirtualEnv activated. To check how to use them, simply use the conventional help:

$ fp_repeat --help

or

$ fp_repeat -h

For example, give the user the following output:

Repeats a data-cube [N] times.

positional arguments:
  input_cube           Input cube.
  output_cube          Output cube.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --n_before N_BEFORE  Add 'n' copies of the cube in its beginning (affects
                   header).
  --n_after N_AFTER    Add 'n' copies of the cube in its end (affects header).

Any problem?

If you have any problem downloading/installing fp_tools you can either contact me (bquint at ctio dot noao dot edu) or create an Issue. The second way is prefered so I can have a track of all the problems (and so other users).
