NAME

       naco_img_checkfocus - Focus check recipe

SYNOPSIS

       esorex naco_img_checkfocus [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       naco_img_checkfocus  -- The focus checking recipe The Set Of Frames (sof-file) must specify at least four
       files and they must be tagged NACO-raw-file.fits TECH_FOCUS The first of the files  is  used  as  a  dark
       frame.

OPTIONS

       --plot <long>
              The  recipe  can  produce  a  number  of  predefined  plots. Zero means that none of the plots are
              produced, while increasing values (e.g. 1 or 2) increases the number of  plots  produced.  If  the
              plotting  fails  a  warning  is  produced,  and the recipe continues. The default behaviour of the
              plotting is to use gnuplot (with option -persist). The recipe currently  produces  1D-plots  using
              gnuplot  commands.  The  recipe user can control the actual plotting-command used by the recipe to
              create the plot by setting the environment variable CPL_PLOTTER. Currently, if CPL_PLOTTER is  set
              it  must  contain the string ´gnuplot´. Setting it to ´cat > my_gnuplot_$$.txt´ causes a number of
              ASCII-files to be created, which each produce a plot when given as standard input to gnuplot (e.g.
              later or on a different computer). A finer control of the plotting  options  can  be  obtained  by
              writing  an executable script, e.g. my_gnuplot.pl, that executes gnuplot after setting the desired
              gnuplot options (e.g. set terminal pslatex color) and then setting CPL_PLOTTER  to  my_gnuplot.pl.
              The  predefined plots include plotting of images. Images can be plotted not only with gnuplot, but
              also using the pnm format. This  is  controlled  with  the  environment  variable  CPL_IMAGER.  If
              CPL_IMAGER is set to a string that does not contain the word gnuplot, the recipe will generate the
              plot  in  pnm  format.  E.g.   setting CPL_IMAGER to ´display - &´ will produce a gray-scale image
              using the image viewer display. (long; default: 0). The full name of this option  for  the  EsoRex
              configuration file is naco.naco_img_checkfocus.plot [default = 0].

       --star_r <float>
              The  star  radius  [arcsecond]  (float; default: 2.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
              configuration file is naco.naco_img_checkfocus.star_r [default = 2.0].

       --bg_r1 <float>
              The internal radius of the background [arcsecond] (float; default: 2.0). The  full  name  of  this
              option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_checkfocus.bg_r1 [default = 2.0].

       --bg_r2 <float>
              The  external  radius  of  the background [arcsecond] (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this
              option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_checkfocus.bg_r2 [default = 3.0].

       Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these  options,  along  with  suitable
       default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.
