Chapter 6. Quick Reference to Raytrace Programs

For a description of the program parameters, please refer to the program listing header. If I have time I might generate a Doxygen documentation for the IDL program but I still have to modify each of the headers to comply with Doxygen syntax.

buildcloud

Build a density cube file from a model in different formats.

getdensity

Get the density of a model at a given point of space.

getmoddefparam

Get the model default parameter structure. Need to process that structure with parsemoddefparam to obtain the modparam array. The modparam array serves as an input for raytracewl for example.

loaddenscube

Load and format a fits file density cube. The output is a modparam formated density cube.

oplotimpactgrid

Overplot impact parameter or r parameter on an image from raytracing.

parsemoddefparam

Parse the model param structure returned by getmoddefparam.

raytracewl

Main raytracing program to generate an image.

rotmat

Compute a rotation matrix.

rtdenscube

Raytracing program to generate an image from a density cube using splatting method.

rtdisp

To display an image from raytrace.

rtfrontend

Runs the graphic user interface front-end.

rtgetprojection

Compute the projection of a point in space on the image.

rtreadbincube

Read a binary density cube generated by buildcloud.

rtrotmat2lonlatroll

Convert a rotation matrix to heliographic projected longitude and latitude and instrument roll angle.

rttest

Runs simple test to check if SCoRT is properly installed.

rtwlcirc

Raytracing following a circular profile.

rtwlline

Raytracing following a radial profile.

rtwlseg

Raytracing following a user defined straight line segment.
