The Plot Popup Window

NICMOSlook uses the Plot Popup window to display the results of the Plots option from the main NICMOSlook window. The Plot Popup window offers the user several option to re-plot the displayed data, measure FWHM, and to save the data or plot to disk. See Figure 4.15

**Figure 4.15:** The Plot Popup Window.
$\begin{figure} \centerline{ \psfig {file=figs/plot_key.eps,width=4.5in} }\end{figure}$

**Figure 4.16:** The Plot Popup Window: FWHM
$\begin{figure} \centerline{ \psfig {file=figs/plot_fwhm.eps,width=4.5in} }\end{figure}$

1.

$\fbox {\textbf {\tt Messages}}$ field

This field is used by the NICMOSlook Plot Popup window to report on its status and to give short direction to the user.

2.

$\fbox {\textbf{\tt Measure FWHM}}$ button

With this button, areas on the plot window can be selected with the mouse. Selection is terminated by using the RIGHT mouse button on the last coordinate of desired region. A Gaussian is fitted to each selected region, and the plot is replaced with panels containing the results. To return to the original plot, push $\fbox {Re-plot}$ .See figure 4.16 for an example.

3.

$\fbox {\textbf{\tt Measure FWHM - output to PS}}$ button

The same procedure as above, but the output will go to a Postscript file instead of the screen.

4.

$\fbox {\textbf{\tt Plot Type}}$ button

The plot type can be selected with one of these switches:
- $\fbox {Linear}$
- $\fbox {Log}$
- $\fbox {Log$\rightarrow$linear}$

5.

$\fbox {\textbf{\tt Replot}}$ button

Redisplays the Plot Popup window.

6.

$\fbox {\textbf{\tt Plot to PS File}}$ button

Writes the plot currently displayed to a Postscript file.

7.

$\fbox {\textbf{\tt Data to File}}$ button

Data currently on the screen will be written to a simple ASCII data file when this button is selected.

8.

$\fbox {\textbf \tt{Done}}$ button

This button closes the plot popup window and returns control to the main NICMOSlook window.
