Synopsis

Contributed CIAO routines for ChIPS.

import chips_contrib.all
from chips_contrib.all import *

Note: in CIAO 4.2 the module was called chips_contrib

The chips_contrib package provides a number of useful routines for ChIPS users, and is provided as part of the CIAO contributed scripts package.

The module can be loaded into ChIPS, Sherpa or Python scripts by saying one of the following:

from chips_contrib.all import *

This will load in all the modules that are part of this package; this currently includes:

Module	Description
chips_contrib.images	Image-related routines for ChIPS
chips_contrib.regions	Region routines for ChIPS
chips_contrib.utils	Utility routines for ChIPS such as xlog()

See the ahelp files for the individual packages and the contributed scripts page for further information.

The chips_contrib.images module has been added.

The add_ds9_contours() routine has been added to the chips_contrib.utils module.

To load in all the ChIPS contributed modules you now have to say one of

import chips_contrib.all
from chips_contrib.all import *

rather than

import chips_contrib
from chips_contrib import *

which now no longer loads in any code.

See the bugs pages on the CIAO website for an up-to-date listing of known bugs.
