componentlist.simulate - Function

1.4.2 Add some simulated components to the list
Description

The simulate function adds simulated components to the list. The simulation criterion is very simple, all the components added are identical! They are point sources at the J2000 north pole with a flux in Stokes I of 1 Jy, and zero in the other polarizations. The spectrum is constant. The ’set’ functions (eg., setflux, setfreq) can be used to change these parameters to desired ones.

The howmany argument indicates how many components to append to the list.

Arguments


Inputs
howmany	How many components to simulate, greater than zero
	allowed:	int
	Default:	1
log	Send a message to the logger
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	true

Returns
bool

Example

      include ’componentlist.g’
      cl := emptycomponentlist();
      cl.simulate(2)
      cl.edit(1);
      cl.setflux(2, [2.78, 0, 0, 0]);
      cl.rename(’test.cl’);
      cl.close();
