Bugs fixed in CIAO 4.5

The following is a list of bugs that were fixed in the CIAO 4.5 software release.

The virtual-file part of a filename is not recorded in the script.

If the visualization was created by using the virtual-file syntax of the CIAO Data Model in a call to any of make_figure, add_curve, add_contour, add_histogram, or add_image then the script created by make_script will be incorrect. The problem is that the virtual-file part of the file name is not recorded in the script.

This bug does not affect visualizations created by plotting up arrays or images directly.

Workaround:

Possible solutions:

  • edit the script to add back in the missing filters
  • use read_file to read in the file and then plot the data directly, so that
    chips> add_curve("lc.fits[cols time,rate]")
    

    becomes

    chips> cr = read_file("lc.fits[cols time,rate]")
    chips> t = copy_colvals(cr, "time")
    chips> r = copy_colvals(cr, "rate")
    chips> add_curve(t, r)
