Detailed Description

This is the class for the AutoGuider window. The user interface elements
    are gathered into the variable ui, which is in turn loaded from the file
    AutoGuider.ui generated by QT Designer.

    The main routines are:

       initVar      - Initialize important variables
       initUI       - Load User Interface and Initialize
       startStopMon - Start / Stop monitoring Patrol Camera images
       startStonAG  - Start / Stop AutoGuiding

       newPic       - Process a new picture, INCLUDING AUTOGUIDING

    There are other routines associated with onscreen activity, guide buttons,
    etc., which are gathered below. See comments further down.

Member Function Documentation

ctrStarClick() [1/3]

def AutoGuider.AppWin.ctrStarClick

(

self

)

NUDGE TELESCOPE BUTTONS STUFF.

The following routines deal with manual offsets. Specifically:

ctrStar         - Move current autoguider star to specified center
togMov          - Toggle move star / move telescope mode
rotateButtons   - Rotates the sky-mode buttons to correspond to view
movN, movS etc. - Move in telescope space: North, South, East, West
movU, movD etc. - Move in detector space: Up, Down, Left, Right

stepSlider      - Adjust offset size based on user changing slider

    This routine prompts the user to click on a star for centering,
    or if already clicked, cancels the operation.

    This is controlled by the self.selCtr flag. Normally, it is False.
    On a first click of the Center Star button, it goes true (and the
    button turns yellow). If the button is clicked again, it cancels
    the operation. If, on the other hand, the user clicks in the image
    frame, the MousePress routine calls the next routine doCtrStar(),
    which performs the offset.

    NOTE: I have not implemented serious cross-checks that the user
  hasn't done something stupid, like clicking Center Star and
  then AutoGuide, etc. !!

newPic() [1/3]

def AutoGuider.AppWin.newPic	(		self,
			timStr
	)

SCREEN STUFF (INCLUDES AUTOGUIDING)

The following routines deal with screen activity. Specifically:

newPic        - React to latest picture from monitor thread (including guiding!)
mousePress    - React to user mouse press (Select Star) in full guide window
lblSpotStars  - Marks hotspot and (optionally) places circles at ref star locations
lblSE         - Places cyan circles at SE locations
drawNSElAz    - Draws North-East  and Elevation-Azimuth arrows on full frame
drawArrow     - Draws a single arrow with the specified properties (called by drawNSElAz)
stuffVals     - Stuffs current values into GUI
logTxt        - Log a message to the window (file not implemente)
thrdMsg       - Log a THREAD message to the window (file not implemente)
imgZin        - Zoom in large image
imgZout       - Zoom out large image
setIblack     - Set black image cut
setIwhite     - Set white image cut
togIauto      - Toggle autoscale image (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)

We have received a signal from the monitor thread that a new image is available.
    Do the following:

      0. Initialize variables (basically short names for AG_Conf stuff)
      1. Get the current pointing from the TCS and K-Mirror angle
      2. If guiding, determine the correct (RADEC?) guide offset and issue it
      3. Display the full-frame.
      4. If guiding, show the guide box image, and present further info.
      5. Update the rotating buttons and arrows
      6. Optionally show the target star locations with plus (+) symbols, and the
 current SE locations with circles.
