ECH_SLOPE


Function

Estimate the slope of the orders across the frame.

Summary

Slope estimation is only performed when frame checking is enabled (set TUNE_FCHECK=YES).

This routine determines the slope of the orders in an echellogram. The method used is to first collapse or median filter samples of 20 columns lying across the corner-corner diagonals of the input frame, into a 1-D array, and then applies a triangle filter to this array.
