ripper - Extracts a one-dimensional spectrum from a three-dimensional IFU NDF.

Description:

This shell script reads a three-dimensional IFU NDF datacube as input, presents you with a white-light image of the cube and allows you to select an $X$-$Y$ position using the cursor. It then extracts (and optionally displays) the spectrum for that $X$-$Y$ position.

Usage:

ripper [-i filename] [-o filename] [-p]
