B.2.3 Splat

Functions for display of spectra in the external viewer SPLAT.

splat( label, loc )

Displays the resource at a given location as a spectrum in a spectrum viewer program (SPLAT). label may be any string which identifies the window for display, so that multiple (sets of) spectra may be displayed in different windows without getting in each others' way. loc should be a filename pointing to a spectrum in a format that SPLAT understands (includes FITS, NDF). In some cases, a URL can be used too.

splat2( label, loc1, loc2 )

Displays two spectra in the same (SPLAT) viewer. This may be useful to compare two spectra which correspond to the same table row.

splatMulti( label, locs )

Generic routine for displaying multiple spectra simultaneously in the same SPLAT plot.
