MOPEX: Full List of Included Scripts
Overview
The scripts included with MOPEX are split into "Supported" and "Under Construction". Supported scripts are verified and fully-supported by the SSC, and are split into "Commonly Used" and "Auxiliary" scripts. Those under construction are either unfinished or have not been verified, and are used entirely at the user's risk. The SSC does not support scripts under construction.

| overlap.pl |
Performs background matching on BCDs |
MOPEX User's Guide |
| prf_estimate.pl |

Auxiliary
| Tool |
Description |
Documentation |
| copy_HDR_keywords.pl |
Copies HDR-mode header keywords |
|
| easymosaic.pl |
Produces a quick-look mosaic without having to specify parameters |
README_easymosaic (Plain Text, 2 KB)) |
| hdr_mask.pl |
Replaces saturated pixels in the long integration time frames with their counterparts from the short integration time frames |
README_hdr_mask (Plain Text, 9 KB) |
| HDR_Split.pl |
Splits filelists into short, medium and long exposures in HDR mode |
|
| mosaic_mask.pl |
Creates a mosaic of the mask images(e.g. creates a mosaic of Rmask images) |
mosaic_mask.pdf (PDF, 140 KB) |
| numbertable.pl |
Numbers the rows in a table |
|
| pointing_refine.pl |

| PSEutils.pl |
Library functions. DO NOT EDIT |
|
| swap_refined_keywords.pl |
Swaps the refine pointing and the default keywords (e.g. to view in ds9 since it won't automatically see the refined keywords) |
|
| table_1col_stat.pl |
Computes histogram for a table column |
|
| table_stat.pl |
Computes statistics for a table column |
|
Under Construction
