We have developed several tools for handling MEF (multi-extension fits) and LDAC (Leiden Data Analysis Centre) files:

• Splitting MEF FITS

  Missfits splits MEF files into separate CCD images

• Splitting MEF LDAC

  Explode_ldac is a tool to explode MEF catalog files using the CFITSIO library

• Compute completeness from a FITS file

  Compteness is a perl script which build a postscript and png completeness graph.
  >comptness.pl -h >comptness.pl -i [-e -c -m -n -p -s -z ]

  
  example :

  comptness.pl -i /data/pix5/raid/processing/spica/admin/admin-spica/724372p/swarp/CFHTLS_W_r_023319-060445_T0001.fits -z 26.633 -c /usr/local/etc/spica/completude/config/cfhtls.sex -o /data/pix5/raid/processing//03BL02/r.MP9601/spica/CFHTLS_W_r_023319-060445_T0001/qualityFITS_out/

  where

   /data/pix5/raid/processing/spica/admin/admin-spica/724372p/swarp/CFHTLS_W_r_023319-060445_T0001.fits is the stacked image

   /usr/local/etc/spica/completude/config/cfhtls.sex is the sextractor configuration

  in this directory : /usr/local/etc/spica/completude/config/, you need to put also the other sextractor configuration files : cfhtls.param, cfhtls.nnw, cfhtls.param

  if you want to use another file, you need : 1) all sextractor configuration file should be located inside the same directory 2) they should have the same core name (cfhtls here)

   /data/pix5/raid/processing//03BL02/r.MP9601/spica/CFHTLS_W_r_023319-060445_T0001/qualityFITS_out/ is the output directory where you'll find :

  CFHTLS_W_r_023319-060445_T0001_comptness.txt : ASCII text file CFHTLS_W_r_023319-060445_T0001_comptness.png : PNG file CFHTLS_W_r_023319-060445_T0001_comptness.ps : Postscript file
