  remove_sources[/qualifiers]

This removes hot spots (or events caused by cosmic rays) from current image. The routine first calculates the average image background then fills the area including the hot spot with background events.

remove/cursor

Specifies that two opposite corners of the rectangular box including the hot spot are input through a cursor.

remove/x_min=xxx

x coordinate (pixels) of lower (or upper) left corner of rectangular box including the hot spot to be removed

remove/x_max=xxx

x coordinate (pixels) of lower (or upper) right corner of rectangular box including the hot spot to be removed

remove/y_min=yyy

y coordinate (pixels) of lower left (or right) corner of rectangular box including the hot spot to be removed

remove/y_max=yyy

y coordinate (pixels) of upper left (or right) corner of rectangular box including the hot spot to be removed

remove/detect

remove all the sources found in the last run of DETECT.

remove/nsources=n

put remove into a loop so that it prompts to remove the number of sources specified by n.

remove/zero

replace the defined region with zeros, rather than the randomized background.

Examples:

remove/cursor              ! remove a region defined by the cursor
 
remove/detect              ! remove the sources found by detect
