Usage:
breaker init
breaker update [-n] [-s <pathToSettingsFile>]
breaker skymap <gwid> <pathToLVMap>
breaker plot (timeline|history|sources) [-w <gwid>] [-s <pathToSettingsFile>]
breaker plot comparison <gwid> <pathToMapDirectory> [-s <pathToSettingsFile>]
breaker faker <ps1ExpId> [-s <pathToSettingsFile>]
breaker stats <gwid> [-s <pathToSettingsFile>]
breaker listen <far> (<mjdStart> <mjdEnd> | <inLastNMins>) [-s <pathToSettingsFile>]
breaker listen -d <far> [-s <pathToSettingsFile>]

COMMANDS
--------
init setup the breaker settings file for the first time
update update the PS1 footprint table in breaker database and associate with GW-IDs. Optionally download overlapping NED source and also add to the database
skymap generate an all sky FITS & PDF image map given the path to the LV likeihood map (Meractor and Mollweide projections respectively)
plot enter plotting mode
timeline plot from the epoch of the wave detection forward in time
history plot from now back in time over the last days, weeks and months
comparison produce a multi-panel plot to compare wave maps
stats generate some coverage stats for a given wave survey campaign
sources overplot map with NED sources found within the wave campaign footprint
faker generate a catalogue of simulated transient sources in PS1 exposure ID footprint
listen connect to grace DB and download maps found within the given time range

ARGUMENTS
---------
far false alarm rate limit in Hz (1e-7 Hz ~= 3.2 per year)
gwid the gravitational wave ID
pathToSettingsFile path to the yaml settings file
pathToMapDirectory path to a directory containing localisation maps
ps1ExpId a panstarrs exposure ID
mjdStart start of an MJD range
mjdEnd end of the MJD range
inLastNMins in the last N number of minutes
pathToLVMap path to the LV likelihood map

FLAGS
-----
-h, --help show this help message
-s, --settings the settings file
-n, --updateNed update the NED database steam
-d, --daemon listen in daemon mode
-w, --waveId a gravitational wave ID



Documentation
=============

Documentation for breaker is hosted by `Read the Docs <http://breaker.readthedocs.org/en/stable/>`__ (last `stable version <http://breaker.readthedocs.org/en/stable/>`__ and `latest version <http://breaker.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`__).

Installation
============

The easiest way to install breaker us to use ``pip``:

.. code:: bash

pip install breaker

Or you can clone the `github repo <https://github.com/thespacedoctor/breaker>`__ and install from a local version of the code:

.. code:: bash

git clone git@github.com:thespacedoctor/breaker.git
cd breaker
python setup.py install

To upgrade to the latest version of breaker use the command:

.. code:: bash

pip install breaker --upgrade

Troubleshooting
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you're having trouble with the installation here are a few things to try:

**Astropy and Clang**. On Mac OS you may have to set your C-compiler to clang before astropy will install. So before the breaker installation, try:

.. code:: bash

setenv CC clang


or, for bash:

.. code:: bash

export CC=clang


Then try and install breaker again.

**healpy**. If you're having trouble installing healpy try installing the `latest version from github <https://github.com/healpy/healpy/releases>`_. Download and extract the tarball.

Untar, set your ``MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET`` environment variable and install:

.. code:: bash

tar -xvf healpy-1.9.0.tar.gz
cd healpy-1.9.0
setenv MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.11
python setup.py install






Development
-----------

If you want to tinker with the code, then install in development mode.
This means you can modify the code from your cloned repo:

.. code:: bash

git clone git@github.com:thespacedoctor/breaker.git
cd breaker
python setup.py develop
