Other Grouping Programs

Grouping is a new facility within ASTERIX and only few applications support access to grouped data - these are,

Spectral fitting
All spectral fitting programs use the grouping array
AXORDER
The grouping array is reordered just as the other arrays in the dataset
FREQUENCY
Optionally (via the USEGRP parameter) bins using data group values rather than the pixels in a grouped dataset
STATISTIX
Optionally (via the USEGRP parameter) displays statistics on the groups rather than the pixels in a grouped dataset
TEXT2AST/AST2TEXT
TEXT2AST will import a column with the header identifier GROUP into the grouping array, and AST2TEXT will write it out
BINSUBSET
Correctly subsets a grouping array. This will usually leave some group numbers with no member pixels, but ASTERIX programs can cope with this
