Overview:

Plots a graph of average intensity vs magnetic longitude or magnetic local time given an inner and an outer radius. Note that this is identical to azisum, except that it uses files output by xform rather than standard FITS files.


How to use:

There are 3 sliders. The first slider controls the inner radius, the second controls the thickness of the bands, and the third controls the number of subdivisions the circle will be broken up into. There are toggle switches below the sliders which are fairly self-explanatory, and control what exactly the program produces and where it stores the output file. Everything else in the program is controlled through the mouse. Hold the left button down to define the center of the earth. Holding the middle button down displays minimum L, MLT, and magnetic longitude data near the upper left corner of the window. The right button is clicked to tell the program to go ahead and actually do the calculations and write any output files that may have been specified.


How to use:

aziplot is also included to offer more flexibility in graphing the data. Using files in the 'output' directory, aziplot will allow you to graph more than one frame at a time, which is useful for comparison. 'Splitting' the data set makes one half of the data appear red and the other half black on the graph, which may make graphed data from two separate times more easily read.
