Three-color coding of spectral images.

3 Description
xcolorcod will produce a three-color coded image based on the position and energy of a set of events. A
color table is used that determines which color will be used for a given energy.
As an example take two pixels. One pixel receives one photon of 1 keV and the other receives two photons
of 1 keV. Assume that in the color table 1 keV corresponds to the color (r,g,b)=(255,128,0). After adding
all events the rst pixel gets color (255,128,0) and the second (510,256,0). Then the image is normalized:
divide by the largest value in the image and multiply by 255. Now the rst pixel has color (128,64,0)
and the second (255,128,0). Note that they have the same color but a dierent intensity. So the color
indicates the distribution of energy, the intensity indicates the ux.
Some more examples using the following color table:
1 keV: (255,128,0)
8 keV: (0,50,100):

photons times energy corresponding color normalized against a global max of 1800
1x1keV 255 128 0 36 18 0
2x1keV 510 256 0 72 36 0
1x8keV 0 50 100 0 7 14
1x1keV,1x8keV 255 178 100 36 25 14
2x1keV,2x8keV 510 356 200 72 50 28
Please note: The actual generation of the red, green, and blue component images is done through the
task evselect. xcolorcod therefore inherits all of evselect's image extraction parameters which allows
to control the image generation process, e.g., binning, windowing, etc.

colorset no string colimg.ds name of data set
The name of the data set the color image shall be written to if withcolorset=true. Depending on the

as three separate array extensions to the data set designated with colorset or as three slices of a single
3-dimensional data cube in the primary array.
