* data selection - Will keep the index specifiers (fieldid, etc) for now.
    • Three changes:
      • add field parameter

fieldid:---> field: takes a single string (spaces separate the names of the fields)
            it does a minimum match on each string so:
            field='133'
            field='1331+305'
            field='1331+30500002_0' (Field Name reported in listobs)
                are all equivalent

            Multiple fields are specified as:
            field='133 144' 
                will get you fields: 1331+30500002_0, 1445_09900002_0

        Implemented in: clean, contsub, exportuvfits, flagdata, flagxy, ft, invert,
                        mosaic, plotxy, setjy, split

      • added field,spwid (to eventually replace msselect) in:
        • bandpass, blcal, correct, fringecal, gaincal, pointcal, uvmodelfit
      • Refant now refers to antenna name; Note: still needs calplot to use antenna names not indices
        • bandpass, blcal, fringecal, gaincal, pointcal

  • error trapping within tasks 20070105
  • cleanbox support within cleantask
    • takes a box: cleanbox=[blcx,blcy,trcx,trcy]
    • takes a list of boxes: cleanbox=[[blcx1,blcy1,trcx1,trcy1],[blcx2,blcy2,trcx2,trcy2]]
    • takes a file: cleanbox='mycleanregions.txt'; with format (compliant with AIPS BOXFILE):
#fieldid blc-x blc-y trc-x trc-y
0        100   100   150   150

or

# nice box around butterfly emission in world coordinates
0 15:22:08.271 +04.59.33.520 15:21:39.581 +05.08.11.457
  • makemask task
    • same support for cleanbox
    • place holder for interactive regions (coming soon)
    • support for polygons nearly there
  • Task History
    • remove tool level history (okay?)
      • image history (coming soon)
