Examples

Here is how one might fit two Gaussians to multiple channels of a cube using the fit from the previous channel as the initial estimate for the next. It also illustrates how one can specify a region in the associated continuum image as the region to use as the fit for the channel.

default imfit
imagename = "co_cube.im"

# specify box around source
box = "50,50,100,100"
chans = "2~20"

# only use pixels with positive values in the fit
excludepix = [-1e10,0]

# estimates file contains initial parameters for two Gaussians in channel 2
estimates = "initial_estimates.txt"

# append results to the log file for all the channels
append = "True"
imfit()
