... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...

... Range Widgets . ... Scale widgets are used to allow the user to visually select and manipulate a value within a specific range. ... The following functions create vertical and horizontal scale widgets, respectively: GtkWidget *gtk_vscale_new( GtkAdjustment *adjustment ); GtkWidget *gtk_vscale_new_with_range( gdouble min, gdouble max, gdouble step ); GtkWidget *gtk_hscale_new( GtkAdjustment *adjustment ); GtkWidget *gtk_hscale_new_with_range( gdouble min, gdouble max, gdouble step ); . ...

... This program was created for correlating chosen regions in the series of fts images. ... Chosen regions' . ... In this section the program counts the integral for each region of the grid for each image. ... As a matter of fact, the integral is total brightness of the region and it is counted by 'int_tabulated' IDL function. ... In addition, the program will show the count of the regions which correlate with the corresponding region (the brighter region means the bigger count) and its contour. ...
