MakeProfiles options:

Input:

-B, --backhdu=INT/STR

HDU of background image.

-C, --clearcanvas

-k, --background=STR

A background image to make the profiles on.

--searchin=STR

Select column(s): `name', `unit', `comment'.

--stdintimeout=INT

Micro-seconds to wait for standard input.

Output:

-D, --dontdelete

Don't delete output if it exists.

-i, --individual

Build all profiles separately.

-K, --keepinputdir

Keep input directory for automatic output.

-m, --nomerged

Do not create a merged image of all profiles.

-o, --output=STR

Output file name.

--psfinimg

-f, --mforflatpix

mcol is flat pixel value (when fcol is 5 or 6)

--magatpeak

Magnitude is for peak pixel, not full profile.

--mcolisbrightness

mcol is total brightness, not magnitude.

--mode=STR

Mode of `--ccol': `img' or `wcs'.

-p, --tunitinp

Truncation is in units of pixels, not radius.

-r, --numrandom=INT

No. of random points in Monte Carlo integration.

-R, --replace

Replace overlapping profile pixels, don't add.

-t, --tolerance=FLT

Tolerance to switch to less accurate method.

-w, --circumwidth=FLT

Width of circumference (inward) profiles

-X, --shift=INT[, ...]

Shift profile centers in output image.

-z, --zeropoint=FLT

Magnitude zero point.

Columns, by info (see `--searchin'), or number (starting from 1):

--ccol=STR/INT

Coordinate columns (one call for each dimension).

--fcol=STR/INT

sersic (1), moffat (2), gaussian (3), point (4), flat (5), circumference (6), distance (7).

--mcol=STR/INT

Magnitude.

--ncol=STR/INT

Sersic index or Moffat beta.

--pcol=STR/INT

Position angle.

--qcol=STR/INT

Axis ratio.

--rcol=STR/INT

Effective radius or FWHM in pixels.

--tcol=STR/INT

Truncation in units of --rcol, unless --tunitinp.

WCS parameters:

--cdelt=FLT[, ...]

Resolution in each dimension.

--crpix=FLT[, ...]

Pixel coordinates of reference point.

--crval=FLT[, ...]

WCS coordinates of reference point.

--ctype=STR[, ... ]

One of FITS standard WCS types.

--cunit=STR[, ... ]

Units of the WCS coordinates (e.g., `deg').

--pc=FLT[, ...]

WCS rotation matrix (all elements).

Operating modes:

-?, --help

--config=STR

Read configuration file STR immediately.

--lastconfig

--log

Information about output(s) in a log file.

--minmapsize=INT

Minimum bytes in array to not use ram RAM.

-N, --numthreads=INT

Number of CPU threads to use.

--onlyversion=STR
