Hi, there.
I have question for IRAF.

I got a file, named test.pl file, during IRAF process.
From IRAF help document, I know this file is mask pixel list file.
But, I don't know how do handle this .pl file.

I'd like to extract coordinate information as readable file from .pl file.

How can I do this?

Answer me, please...

Thanks.
Have nice day~

The .pl file can be treated as an image and so tasks like IMHEAD, HEDIT, etc can manipulate the header to find/create a WCS in the header. Assuming the file has a WCS something like "cl> listpix test.pl wcs=world" will print the pixels with the WCS coordinates, IMEXAMINE can display the WCS, etc. Post back if you still have questions.
