IEXCLUDE

Excludes specified pixels from display and processing by setting the IGNORE quality bit for those pixels. There are five modes:

PIXel
Exclude individual pixels pointed to by the cursor - space-bar or left button selects for exclusion, RETURN or centre button terminates
SOUrce
Excludes pixels up to a specified radius from sources specified by RA/DEC, which can be given as a text file, an ASTERIX source list or separate RA and DEC arrays
CIRcle
Excludes pixels inside a specified circle
POLygon
Excludes pixels within a polygon whose vertices are specified with the cursor - space-bar or left button selects position of vertex, RETURN or centre button indicates last vertex and terminates - the first and last vertices are automatically joined
REGion
Excludes pixels in a region previously defined by IREGION or by a specified ARDfile
The keyword OUTSIDE causes the function of CIRCLE and POLYGON modes to be inverted ie. pixels outside are excluded.

The masked QUALITY array can be viewed with IQPIXEL.

The effect of IEXCLUDE can be toggled on and off by the use of IMASK, (set the most significant bit to 0 to switch off).
