Hi,
I just started to work with structures and so far they are good for
what I want to do.

What I do is I readin fitsimages (119 2146 to 4096 pixel) one at a
time.
I do this in a loop.
Each loop I do something with each row/y value of the images.
I also extract some strings from the header.

Then at the end of the loop I write the results in the created
structure.
When I do plotting later I can do neat things like plot only images
with the same string from the header.
etc.

My code looks something like this:

data = file_search('*.fits',count=numfiles)

starty = 1000
endy = 3700
startx = 50
endx = 2095
yp = endy-starty+1

hwstr = {hwline:dblarr(endx-starx+1,yp)} ; here halfwidth value get
written to
valstr = {name:'name',expo:0.D, angle:0,seeingst:0.D,seeingend:0.D}
imstr = {im:dblarr(endx-startx+1,yp)} ; here all the x values for one
y position get written to later on
hwstr = replicate(hwstr,numfiles)
valstr = replicate(valstr,numfiles)
imstr = replicate(imstr,numfiles)

etc.

The result lets me do something like:

plot, imstr[0].im[*,0]
oplot,hwstr[0].hwline[*,0]

which are from the same image and from the same row/ y value.


If numfiles is like 30 it works but larger values throw an error:
"array has too many elements"

Is the another way to do this without structures?


Thanks


PS: link to example image (not nice looking but I hope shows what I
mean)

Sounds vaguely familiar.

I think that the magic number 30 relates to the maximum number of
labels/ticks on the axis
or something like that?
