A library for GALFIT package
Project description
GALFITools
A library for GALFIT
GALFIT is a 2 dimensional image fitting algorithm. See Peng et al. (2002, AJ, 124, 266) for general description.
GALFITools is a collection of Python scripts that improve the input and output analysis of GALFIT.
This is a set of routines which help the GALFIT’s user to make masks, cut stars, create multiple initial parameters, simulate galaxies, fit MGE, compute sky and compute other photometric variables.
Installation
The python libraries required are:
numpy
astropy
scipy
matplotlib
mgefit
Install GALFIT if you haven’t done so.
Download the latest release, and installed it via
cd GALFITools pip install .
or
cd GALFITools python setup.py install
Also, you can install it via pip:
pip install GALFITools
Run the automated tests:
tox
A list of commands will be installed and run it via shell.
