Classes inheriting form :class:`Mask <spexxy.mask.Mask>` create good pixel masks for spectra. They are called by the main routine with each component as parameter. So in order to work, derived classes must implement both the constructor :meth:`__init__() <spexxy.mask.Mask.__init__>` and :meth:`__call__() <spexxy.mask.Mask.__call__>`.
spexxy comes with a few pre-defined mask classes:
- :class:`MaskEnds <spexxy.mask.MaskEnds>` masks a given number of pixels at both ends of a spectrum.
- :class:`MaskFromPath <spexxy.mask.MaskFromPath>` loads a mask from a file with the same name in a given directory.
- :class:`MaskRanges <spexxy.mask.MaskRanges>` accepts wavelength ranges in its constructor that are then used to create a mask.
