dish - Module

Description
The single-dish environment within AIPS++is known as dish. See the Getting Results:Single Dish Analysis note for a complete description of the various graphical components and tools which together make up the dish module along with recipes for reduction.

dish is actually a set of nested tools with broad functionality. We organize them into several groups to facilitate finding the appropriate function for a given task, though all functions are available as a group from the command line.

There are additional functions available in dish through the AIPS++ plug-in utility. For example, the calibration routines are instrument-specific. Please see the chapters in the Getting Results Manual for details.

For the following, we divide the core functionality of dish into 'user' and 'developer' sections. The 'developer' sections are designated by a 'dishd', though they are accessed in the same fashion as any other dish function, i.e., d.fn(...). We also present information on the functions available on tools contained within dish, namely the plotter and results manager (rm) tools.
