Spectral Analysis

Abstract

This section of the wiki is intended to be a repository of discussion concerning spectral analysis and how glue would fit into tools for spectral analysis. The intent is to provide some scenarios to work with and to discuss how to best adapt/enhance the glue core to support apps built upon the glue core.

Scenarios

• Big picture thoughts
• Dirt simple scenario
• Existing implementations as examples of functionality:
  • Specview.
  • IRAF's splot
  • Glue Model Fitter

Implementation

I (jde) believe Chris already has thoughts on this; fix the following as necessary.

From a "high-level" vantage point, a spectrum data viewer would be created. In this viewer, one would be able to specify a set of tools (plugins?) that would allow for various operations, such as fitting (models), spectral math, navigation, over-plotting, etc.

One approach involves using the already existing spectrum/PV slice extraction tools. Instead of simply being a tool, implement one of these as a full-fledged data viewer and make the "options" individual tools in and of themselves.
