Hi all!

I am relatively new to IRAF and I want
to improve. I read from different
sources that the best source as a start
would be "A User’s Introduction to the
IRAF Command Languag" by Shames and
Tody. I had a look for it on Google but
I couldn't fin...

About imexamStarted by:boscoyung, 11/09/2006 08:47AM
Hi everyone!

I am currently using the 'imexamine'
task to take some simple measurements,
but I am not sure where I could find out
the errors. Say, if I use the curser key
'r' to plot a radial profile of a
certain star, using the gaussian fit,
how do I ...

Mike-

This is a dumb question, but is there an
absolute value command for real numbers
in IRAF? I have thought about importing
the abs() command from linux but all
comments say that it only works with int
