PmWiki 2.0 introduced the ability to control the styling further and to even place styles on blocks. ... In addition, an author can define a style "shortcut" by using the define= property. For example, to define a style of %red% , one can use: . define=mystyle color=red% Here is some %mystyle% red text created using a style shortcut. ...

... The generation of simulated sources whose physical properties are well understood is useful in assessing the functionality of point source analysis software. Qpsim is an IRAF/PROS task which will generate events from sources of given intensity, shape, and position and either overlay them on a flat background in a new QPOE file or inject them into an existing QPOE file. ... The simulated data can be a useful tool in calibrating point source analysis software. ...

When analyzing extended sources the background must be obtained from a region well separated from the source. To correct the background for the differential vignetting (i.e., the difference between source and background vignetting) of the ROSAT mirror, set the vign_corr flag in qpspec to yes. For example: . xs > qpspec vign_corr=yes . rsdc@cfa.harvard.edu . 1998-06-10
