# sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum(7)

Collapse a cube to an image over an aperture

## NAME

sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum - Collapse a cube to an image over an aperture

## SYNOPSIS

esorex **sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof

## DESCRIPTION

This recipe performs cube to 1D spectrum image conversion.

The input files is a cube Its associated tag should be CUBE.

The output is an image resulting from the cube manipulated  according to the value of op Over an aperture as specified by the parameter  sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.aperture having alias ´op´, ´ap´

## OPTIONS

- **--op** *\<str\>*

  A possible operation: average, clean\_mean, median, sum (str; default: ´average´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.op** \[default = *average*\].

- **--ap** *\<str\>*

  A possible aperture: rectangle, circle (str; default: ´rectangle´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.ap** \[default = *rectangle*\].

- **--llx** *\<long\>*

  Lower left X rectangle coordinate (long; default: 2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.llx** \[default = *2*\].

- **--lly** *\<long\>*

  Lower left Y rectangle coordinate (long; default: 2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.lly** \[default = *2*\].

- **--urx** *\<long\>*

  Upper right X rectangle coordinate (long; default: 28). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.urx** \[default = *28*\].

- **--ury** *\<long\>*

  Upper right Y rectangle coordinate (long; default: 28). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.ury** \[default = *28*\].

- **--lo\_rej** *\<long\>*

  Clean mean low rejection (long; default: 10). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.lo\_rej** \[default = *10*\].

- **--hi\_rej** *\<long\>*

  Clean mean low rejection (long; default: 10). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.hi\_rej** \[default = *10*\].

- **--centerx** *\<long\>*

  Circle center X coordinate (long; default: 16). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.centerx** \[default = *16*\].

- **--centery** *\<long\>*

  Circle center Y coordinate (long; default: 16). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.centery** \[default = *16*\].

- **--radius** *\<long\>*

  Circle radii (long; default: 5). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube2spectrum.radius** \[default = *5*\].

Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.
