UNDER DEVELOPMENT
The software package is currently being dramatically improved and updated.
This is a (very) old version, potentially with bugs.
Help for "shapelets_read_shapecat_hdf" routine:
Reads in a shapelet catalogue containing all of the objects from both Hubble Deep Fields.
This reads in a shapelet catalogue of the Hubble Deep Field North
(HDF-N_f814.shape) and South (HDF-S_f814.shape), and combines
them into one big catalogue. This is then returned to IDL as a "shapecat"
structure.
See also the header below, which has been extracted from the source code for this routine.

; NAME:
; SHAPELETS_READ_SHAPECAT_HDF
;
; PURPOSE:
; Reads in and concatenates shapelet catalogues containing all of the
; objects from both Hubble Deep Fields.
;
; INPUTS:
; None.
;
; OPTIONAL INPUTS:
; FILT - HDF filter e.g. 606 or 814. Default: 814
; N_MAX - Truncate catalogue at this shapelet parameter.
;
; KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
; POLAR - Convert to polar shapelet coefficents automatically on load,
; in reduced {r,theta} form (cf shapelets_polar_reduce.pro).
; MOMENTS - Calculate object shape moments (astrometry, photometry etc)
; automatically on load.
; DECONV - Read PSF-deconvolved catalogue (if available)
; PARITY - Rotate all objects automatically on load so that their
; ellipticity is aligned with the x axis then flip, if
; necessary, so that all their isophotes begin to twist in a
; clockwise sense.
; RESIZE - Rescale so that all shapelets use the same beta.
;
; OUTPUTS:
; shapecat- name of catalogue (shapecat structure) returned in memory.
;
; MODIFICATION HISTORY:
; Mar 04 - Split into shapelets_concatenate_shapecats by RM.
; Jan 02 - Written by Richard Massey.
