Initialize the pixlib library.
pix_init_pixlib()
pix_init_pixlib( String_Type param )
pix_init_pixlib( String_Type telescope, String_Type param )
After the pixlib module has been loaded, the
pix_init_pixlib() function must be called before any other
routine from the module is called.
The param argument param gives the name of the parameter file
file to use to set up the library; it defaults to "geom".
The telescope argument defaults to the value of "flight";
other settings are not recommended.
chips> require("pixlib")
chips> pix_init_pixlib
Pixlib should not be closed and re-initialized within a single
session, as this causes internal variables to be mis-set and
incorrect results produced. This bug will be addressed in a
future release; the simple workaround is to call
pix_init_pixlib only once, immediately after the call to
require("pixlib").
