Examples


A simple contor plot

[ChIPS output]
Postscript version
add_contour("contours.fits",[53.6454,57.5304,63.1794],["wcs","params"])

add_vline(6.72,["style","dot"])
add_hline(0.79,["style","dot"])

limits(X_AXIS,4.0,13.0)
limits(Y_AXIS,0.0,2.0)

set_plot_xlabel("kT_x (keV)")
set_plot_ylabel("Abundance")

Two sets of contours in the same plot

[ChIPS output]
Postscript version
add_contour("contours.fits",[53.6454,57.5304,63.1794],["wcs","params"])
add_contour("contours.fits",[55.9554,60.5554],["wcs","params","style","dot","color","red"])

limits(X_AXIS,4.0,14.0)
limits(Y_AXIS,0.0,2.0)

add_point(6.72,0.79,["size",7.0])

add_label(11.0,1.8,r"1,2,3 \sigma")
add_label(11.0,1.67,"90, 99%",["color","red"])

current_label("all")
set_label(["size",14.0])

# Place a region behind the labels to highlight them
xr = [10.8,12.8,12.8,10.8]
yr = [1.63,1.63,1.91,1.91]
add_region(xr,yr,["fill.visible",1,"fill.color","gray","edge.style","noline","depth",50])

set_plot_xlabel("kT_x (keV)")
set_plot_ylabel("Abundance")

Contouring an image using the WCS information

[ChIPS output]
Postscript version
add_contour("a2142_smoothed.fits",[4.0,11.0,18.0,25.0,32.0,39.0,46.0,53.0])

reverse_axes(X_AXIS)
set_xaxis(["tickformat","ra"])
set_yaxis(["tickformat","dec"])

set_plot_title("Abell 2142")
set_plot_xlabel("Right Ascension")
set_plot_ylabel("Declination")
set_plot(["leftmargin",0.25])
set_yaxis(["offset.perpendicular",80])
