This package implements a a framework to simulate two-dimensional images of shapelet objects. It also provides a facility to generate a random sample of shapelet objects, based on an input set. The default implementation uses the shapelet decomposition of the HDF, but any input catalog may be used.

This is a port from IDL to Java of the code made available at the Shaplets Web Pages of Richard Massey and Alexandre Refregier.

The documentation refers to three papers:

• Paper 1Shapelets: I. A Method for Image Analysis
• Paper 2Shapelets: II. A Method for Weak Lensing Measurements
• Paper 3Image Simulation with Shapelets
