directory : str
Path to directory containing set of input FITS files.
images_table : str
Path of output metadata table.
recursive : bool, optional
mImgtbl can also be used as a standalone program to gather image
metadata for other purposes (to populate a database, as a basis for
spatial coverage searches, etc.) In this case it is often desirable to
collect information on all the files in a directory tree recursively.
The recursive option instructs mImgtbl to search the given directory
and all its subdirectories recursively.
corners : bool, optional
The corners option in mImgtbl will cause eight extra columns to be
added to the output metadata table containing the RA, Dec coordinates
(ra1, dec1, ... ra4, dec4) of the image corners. The output is always
Equatorial J2000, even if the input is some other system. Though not
required for the core processing modules, we recommend using this
option, as some of the utilities may require corner locations to
function properly.
include_area : bool, optional
By default, mImgtbl ignores FITS files with names ending in _area
(i.e. name_area_image), assuming them to be Montage-created area
images. If you want to generate information on these images, or if you
have images with _area in the title other than those generated by
Montage, you should turn on this option to force mImgtbl to look at
all images in the directory.
debug : bool, optional
output_invalid : bool, optional
When this option is set, mImgtbl will explicitly output each FITS file
it finds that does not appear to be valid, along with information on
the error.
status_file : str, optional
Output and errors are written to status_file instead of being written
to stdout.
fieldlist : str, optional
Used to specify a fieldlist, which will list additional keywords to be
read from the FITS headers and included in the output table.
Fieldlists should specify the keyword name, type (int,char,double),
and size.
img_list : str, optional
mImgtbl will only process files with names specified in table
img_list, ignoring an_y other files in the directory.
