First run the preparation function, see the comments in TCPrepFunctions.py for information on keywords. Images should be in .sdf format, and run one at a time.

prepare_image( *args )

Next run Gaussclumps, see comments in TCGaussclumpsFunctions.py for more information on keywords. Image used should be output from prepare_images(), should be in .sdf format and should be run one at a time.

run_gaussclumps( *args )

Next run the matching program, see comments in TCOffsetFunctions.py for more information on keywords. Catalogs used should be outputs from run_gaussclumps( *args ), and should be run one at a time (one catalog run against one reference catalog).

source_match( *args )

The output from this function will be the normalization constants to align (in position & flux) the target catalog to the reference catalog. For more information on outputs see comments in TCOffsetFunctions.py
