casatoolsΒΆ
The CASA toolkit is the foundation of the functionality in the package, and consists of a suite of functions that are callable from Python. The tools are used by the tasks, and can be used by advanced users to perform operations that are not available through the tasks.
It is beyond the scope of this reference to describe the toolkit in detail. Occasionally, examples will be given that utilize the tools. In short, tools are always called as functions, with any parameters that are not to be defaulted given as arguments. For example:
ia.open('ngc5921.chan21.clean.cleanbox.mask')
ia.calcmask('"ngc5921.chan21.clean.cleanbox.mask">0.5','mymask')
ia.summary()
ia.close()
uses the image tool (ia) to turn a clean mask image into an image mask.
