GALFITools: A library for GALFIT

GALFITools constitutes a collection of specialized routines to facilitate
the utilization of GALFIT. The toolkit encompasses a spectrum of routines,
spanning from mask creation, Point Spread Function (PSF) creation,
Multi-gaussian expansion, sky computation, initial parameter estimation,
to the analysis of GALFIT's output

In this release:

  • The functions have been documented.
  • Console scripts return results in units of pixels and arc sec
  • New function GetSersic to estimate initial parameters for GALFIT input file
  • New function imarith to make arithmetic operations on images
  • New options for mge2galfit: position, ellipticity, and angular position
  • New Function makePSF to create PSF images using multi gaussian expansion
  • New function getKappa2 as an alternative to getKappa to estimate the curvature of a function
  • New function getBarSize to estimate the bar size
  • Bugs fixed
