MosaicAuto

Mosaic with option to highlight individual component.

Plugin Type: Local

MosaicAuto is a local plugin, which means it is associated with a channel. An instance can be opened for each channel.

Usage

Note

When you are loading, say, hundreds of thumbnails, make sure they are all loaded in Contents first before clicking the “Create Mosaic” button.

This local plugin is only used in MOSAIC mode, as defined in Ginga Configuration Files; particularly, the THUMBNAIL operation type.

It is very much like MosaicAuto in stginga except that the image list associated with the selected footprint(s) is written out to “QUIP Out” as given by the “QUIP Operation File”.

It is customizable using ~/.ginga/plugin_Mosaic.cfg, where ~ is your HOME directory:

#
# Mosaic plugin preferences file
#
# Place this in file under ~/.ginga with the name "plugin_Mosaic.cfg"

# annotate images with their names
#annotate_images = False

# default FOV for new mosaics
fov_deg = 0.0003

# Try to match backgrounds
match_bg = True

# Number of pixels to trim from edges
#trim_px = 0

# Merge (coadd pixels) instead of overlapping tiles
#merge = False

# Number of threads to devote to opening images
num_threads = 12

# dropping a new file or files starts a new mosaic
#drop_creates_new_mosaic = False

# Set to True when you want to mosaic image HDUs in a file
#mosaic_hdus = False

# Limit on skew between X and Y axis after warping tile acceptable for mosaic
#skew_limit = 0.1

# Allow the mosaic image to expand if new tiles are added that
# aren't in the region
#allow_expand = True

# When expanding an image, pad on a side by this many deg
expand_pad_deg = 0.0

# Maximum delta from center of image (in deg) beyond which new images
# are assumed to start a new mosaic. Set to None if you never want this
# bahavior
max_center_deg_delta = None

# Allow mosaic images to create thumbnail entries
make_thumbs = True
