Description

This software package allows a user to create and save images from data gathered by JWST.

Installation

1. Setup a folder that contains the data files that you want converted to images. These files must have a .fits extension and it is reccommended to get these files from https://mast.stsci.edu/portal/Mashup/Clients/Mast/Portal.html
2. Once you are in that directory in your command line, run "python -m pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --no-deps JWST-IMAGE-MAKER" or "python -m pip install --no-deps JWST-IMAGE-MAKER"
3. Type “python” in the command line to enter into a "python shell"
4. Type “from JWST_IMAGE_MAKER import make_image”
5. type Filename=[“{your_filename.fits}”]
6. Note that you can put multiple files within this list. However, even if you are including 1 file, it must be in list format (not a string)
7. Run “make_image(Filename, save_Image={True/False})”
8. The saved image will appear in the same repository your input files are in
9. Enjoy
