A2.6 Other Features

In the course of developing this program, several features have been added or changed in LANSPECT and other LAN programs as follows:

A2.7 Additional Information

This is an example to show how the linear and log scaling algorithms work. We start with flux values in eight directions, already normalized if necessary

8 flux values: 50 50 20 10 10 10 5 5
sum=160; avg=20
Divide by avg: 2.5 2.5 1.0 .5 .5 .5 .25 .25
scale=2.0  LINEAR SCALING
Range limit (0-2): 2.0 2.0 1.0 .5 .5 .5 .25 .25
Divide by : 1.0 1.0 0.5 .25 .25 .25 .125 .125
Color index=240* + 2
Color index*: 242 242 122 62 62 62 32 32
scale=2.0 LOG SCALING
Range limit (0.5-2): 2.0 2.0 1.0 .5 .5 .5 .5 .5
cv = (alog10(av) + alog10(2)) / 2*alog10(2)
get cv : 1.0 1.0 0.5 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.
Color index=240* + 2
Color index*: 242 242 122 2 2 2 2 2

(*Rainbow scale with 2 corresponding to black, 242 to bright pink)
