IRAF Command Language is a Python-based tool for image processing and data reduction in astronomy. It provides a set of commands for effective analysis and manipulation of astronomical data.
PyRAF, a command language based on Python scripting language, is an ideal replacement for the existing IRAF CL. This versatile tool can run almost all IRAF tasks efficiently, displaying graphics and facilitating interactive graphics and image display tasks. Its remarkable feature includes the ability to run more than 90% of IRAF CL scripts, which is quite impressive.
While there are some differences in the way tasks are executed compared to IRAF CL, they are mostly positive improvements. Users can expect a seamless and straightforward experience with PyRAF's commands and syntax, given its similarity to the IRAF CL.
Overall, PyRAF is a highly recommended tool for those looking to streamline their IRAF-based workflows with a more efficient, user-friendly command line interface. Its robust capabilities and easy-to-navigate system make it a top choice for software developers and astronomers who require a superior command line experience.
