GETOBJID - get postage-stamp image of object
The getobjid program, located in
/data/oiropt/bin,
expects a starbase table as its standard input and decodes either the
ra, dec columns or the objID or specObjID column
to determine the area of sky to be returned. In the latter two cases, the
CFA PhotoPrim.db database is queried to return the
coordinates. Command-line options are avaliable to determine the overlays
supplied on the image. Full documentation is at
http://cas.sdss.org/dr6/en/tools/chart/chart.asp
Usage: getobjid [options] [objID_1 objID_2 ...] < table.db
If non-option args are present, they are taken as values for
images (i.e. RA, Dec pairs OR objIDs OR specObjIDs) to be
downloaded. The -l, -t flags are then ignored.
-c - input is ra, dec coordinates, degrees (default)
-o - input is objID
-s - input is specObjID
-h 400 - image height
-w 400 - image width
-b 0.396127 - image scale
-e GL - image opt
-q <str> - image query (Ex: "GR(15,20)")
-t <dbfile> - Take values from starbase file (STDIN is default)
-l <file> - Take values as simple list from file ("-" == STDIN)
-d . - Output directory
-f <name> - Output file name instead of default.
-a /data/astrocat/SDSS-dr6 - Path to SDSS data
-v - verbose output
Output: file(s) in directory "dirpath", with filename(s)
of form: SDSSJHHMMSS.ss[pm]DDMMSS.s.jpg
Examples:
The command:
getobjid -h 200 -w 400 -f sdss.jpg -o 587731511532060708
generated the above image, while the command:
getobjid -q 'GA(15,18)' -h 200 -w 400 -e GL -b 1. -f sdss.jpg -vo 587731511532060708
generated the second image of the same coordinate, but
where the GA(15,18) draws triangles around galaxies with any
magnitude between 15 and 18, GL puts the grid and label on
the image, and -b 1. enlarges the image scale (i.e. zooms
out) from its default.
