Parameter descriptions

alpha:          float, image transparency. Range: [0,1].
black:          float, value to set to black, all pixels of lower value raised to this level. Use to
                clean up noise. 

cmap:           str, color map to color the image. Ex: "Reds", "Greens", etc.
draw:           bool, if true, draw output
filename:       str, path to .fits file
fitargs:        **dict, arguments passed to curve_fit
fn:             function handle, function to draw
imap:           bool, if True, invert color map colours
levels:         int, number of contour levels to draw
kwargs:         **dict, unused
mask:           tuple, exclude all pixels outside of circle from draw or calculation. (x0,y0,r)
min_length:     float, minimum length of lines to find, in pixels
min_gap:        float, maximum acceptable distance between line pixels which do not signify breaking
                the line
nlines:         int, number of shapes to find
pars:           *tuple, parameters passed to fn. 
rad_range:      tuple, radius range to seach in (r_lo, r_hi)
rescale_pixels: bool, pixels are intrinsically asymmetric. Rescale image such that the pixels are 
                square, interpolating pixel values with 3rd order spline. 
shape:          tuple, shape of the image (number of pixels x,y)
sigma:          float, standard deviation of rolling Gaussian filter, smoothing image features.
theta:          float, list of acceptable angles for the lines to point

xlo:              function handle, lower integration bound [inner]
xlhi:             function handle, upper integration bound [inner]
ylo:              float, lower integration bound [outer]
yhi:              float, upper integration bound [outer]

bccd.functions

gaussian2D(x,y,x0,y0,sigmax,sigmay,amp,theta=0)

Parameter descriptions

amp:              float, unused in favour of normalized amplitude (present for ease of use)
sx,sy:            float, standard deviation
theta:            float, angle of rotation                  
x0,y0:            float, gaussian mean location
