Development/cabb-upgrade/PGFLAG

Specification

We want a simple PGPLOT-based utility to

  • display UV data from a single baseline, in the format
    • channel number on X axis
    • time on Y axis
    • amplitude or phase shown as "greyscale"
  • display a cursor with 'live' readback of the amplitude/phase, channel number, frequency and timestamp

We want to use this to select subsets of the displayed data and apply flagging commands to the subset.

Display characteristics:

  • display one baseline at a time
  • we want to be able to jump to a different baseline number (forward and back thro' the sequence)
  • don't average time steps by default (make the averaging a command parameter)
  • do sum the channels such that the entire bandpass fits in the PGPLOT display window (allow turning this off via command line params)
  • if the uvdata array extends beyond the edges of the display window, allow scrolling (vertically or horizontally)
  • when it is possible to scroll, show an arrow (outside the display grid) (with the shortcut key letter shown as well ?)
  • arrow keys are the most obvious shortcut key!

Development?
