# visir\_util\_run\_swarp(7)

Run swarp program to coadd images.

## NAME

visir\_util\_run\_swarp - Run swarp program to coadd images.

## SYNOPSIS

esorex **visir\_util\_run\_swarp** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof

## DESCRIPTION

WARNING: this recipe is intented to be run in a temporary directory, it does not clean up behind itself The files listed in the Set Of Frames (sof-file) must be tagged: VISIR-chopnod-corrected-file.fits BKG\_CORRECTED VISIR-error-map.fits ERROR\_MAP It will produce the coaddition of each input frame separately and of all frames together.

The single frame product(s) will have a FITS card ´HIERARCH ESO PRO CATG´ with a value of: COADDED\_IMAGE and COADDED\_WEIGHT The total coaddition will have the tags COADDED\_IMAGE\_COMBINED and COADDED\_WEIGHT\_COMBINED

## OPTIONS

- **--output-all** *\<bool\>*

  Output a coadded image for each input file in addition to the complete coaddition. (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **visir.visir\_util\_run\_swarp.output-all** \[default = *False*\].

- **--extra\_config** *\<str\>*

  Additional configuration parameters (str; default: ´NONE´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **visir.visir\_util\_run\_swarp.extra\_config** \[default = *NONE*\].

- **--config\_fname** *\<str\>*

  Swarp configure file name. (str; default: ´/usr/share/cpl- plugins/visir-4.4.2/config/visir\_default.swarp´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **visir.visir\_util\_run\_swarp.config\_fname** \[default = */usr/share/cpl-plugins/visir-4.4.2/config/visir\_default.swarp*\].

- **--nprocs** *\<int\>*

  Maximum number of swarp processes that can be spawned simultaneously. (int; default: -1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **visir.visir\_util\_run\_swarp.nprocs** \[default = *-1*\].

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.
