Create Image Keyword List
The Create Image Keyword List command generates a catalog (or list) of image keyword values in a Table window. The table contents may be graphed, saved to a file, printed, or coped to the clipboard. See Arranging Report Data for details. Images and image sets can be displayed from the table by checking the boxes of an image set or by double-clicking on a specific image.
Results listed in the Image Keyword Catalog table window can be analyzed using tools in a pop-up menu. For example, several images may be selected from the list and then displayed in a new Image Window or a graph may be created showing the value of one keyword against another.
The Create Image Keyword List command
opens from the Image Window > File menu and
button on the Main Toolbar. The
"immediate" form, shown first, opens when an image or image set is
displayed in the top-most window. The general form can be used to
select source images from folders, windows, or by matching
templates.

|
Nonstandard Keyword |
Supplemental or nonstandard keywords to be added to the Keywords for Catalog list box. Click the down arrow to add the keyword to the Catalog list box. |
|

Reference keywords for populating the Keywords for Catalog list box. |
|
[>] [<] |
These buttons are used to move selected keywords between the two list boxes. |
|
Keywords for Catalog |
The list of keywords that will be listed in the catalog |
Keywords to be listed in the catalog are taken from the Keywords for Catalog list box on the right wide of the dialog. Keywords are entered into this box either by using the [>] button to transfer them from the Standard Keywords in the list box on the left, or by inserting them from the Nonstandard Keyword field above.
A new profile populates the Standard list box with Mira's internal set of standard keywords. As keywords are moved from the Standard list to the Catalog list, they are removed from the Standard list. Nonstandard keywords can also be added to the Catalog list by entering them into the Nonstandard field and clicking the down arrow. Since keywords moved back into the Standard list may include those added as Nonstandard keywords, you can supplement Mira's standard list with your own keywords (in this command only) which are saved for future use when you save the profile. Saving the profile saves both lists and the other dialog properties for future use.
Quantities Listed in the Keyword Table

Check this box for each image you want to display as an image set. To select all images (or unselect all images), check the box in the top header row. To display a single image, double click on it (with or without the box checked). |
|

The image name, not including the file path. |

<Keywords> |
The selected keywords are each listed in columns of the table. |

After images are listed in the table, you may select them for further analysis, such as creating a scatter plot of keyword values or displaying selected images in a new Image Window. To open a menu containing the available commands, right click on the table. For example, the picture below shows the Display Selected Images command used to display images 1, 3, and 4 in a new Image Window:
As a second example, the Create Chart from Table Data command in the menu is used for graphing the photometric zero point (ZERO-PT keyword) against the airmass of the observation (AIRMASS keyword). The two pictures below show the Create Chart from Table Data dialog and the chart (graph) created by clicking [Plot] on the dialog. In this example, notice that only 2 points appear in the chart because only two of the images have values for both keywords.
