Create Image Keyword List
The Create Image Keyword List command
generates a table of keyword values for a collection of images and
lists them in the Image Keyword Catalog
Report Window where they may be viewed, graphed,
saved to a file, and otherwise processed (see
Report Windows for details). For example, several
images may be selected from the list and displayed in a new
Image Window, saved to a Mira
File List for later processing, or graphed as one
keyword versus another keyword.
The related
Search Keyword Values command creates a catalog
of images based on their keyword values. The current command helps
you determine which keywords are present.
-
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 front-most
window. The general form can be used to select source images from
files (folders, file name template, etc.) or an image window.

Notes

The last grid column may be edited to add Notes to
the

grid data using the Save As... command
in the context menu

After images are listed in the
Report Window, a substantial collection of graphing
and other tools are available for analysis. Some of these tools are
available as commands in the pull-down menus for the
Report Window, while others are accessed by right
clicking on the grid to open its
Grid Context Menu like that shown below. In addition,
you can work with data in the Report Window from scripts using the
CGridView script class.
In the menu above, the Display
selected images as an image set command displays all checked
images in the Report Window as an
Image Set. If only one image is checked, this command
is disabled and single image display is enabled.
The Save as File List
command saves all checked images as a
File List for future use. The
File List is also added to the Recent Files submenu for easy access.
The Create Chart from
Grid 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 Grid 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.
