Exclusions from Duchamp ======================= Selavy does not implement all of the features available in Duchamp. This is due to a number of factors: * We do not have the Duchamp graphics capabilities enabled, since pgplot is not included in the askapsoft code tree. The FDR method is not implemented. ... The baseline-subtraction option has not been impelemented - it would require additional work to pass the baseline values between the workers and the master, and has not been a priority. ...
