Next: Text I/O Up: Miriad Subroutine Library Previous: Task Parameters . Many Miriad routines perform error checking internally, and bomb out if an error is detected. Other Miriad routines pass back a status value (generally the last subroutine argument). ... Two routines can be called to indicate an error: subroutine bug(severity,text) subroutine bugno(severity,number) Here severity is a single character, being either 'w', 'e' or 'f' , meaning warning, error and fatal respectively. ...

... The colors indicate the relative motions of galaxies with accurately measured distances, with shades of green and blue indicating motions toward us and shades of yellow to red indicating motions away from us. Our nearest neighbors have only small relative motions (represented by yellows and greens), as seen best in the exploded view of the right panel. We, along with all these nearest neighbors, are moving together toward the lower right corner of the figures. ...
