\section pipe_tasks_photocal_Purpose    Description

\copybrief PhotoCalTask

Calculate an Exposure's zero-point given a set of flux measurements of stars matched to an input catalogue.
The type of flux to use is specified by PhotoCalConfig.fluxField.

The algorithm clips outliers iteratively, with parameters set in the configuration.

\note This task can adds fields to the schema, so any code calling this task must ensure that
these columns are indeed present in the input match list; see \ref pipe_tasks_photocal_Example

\section pipe_tasks_photocal_Initialize Task initialisation

\copydoc \_\_init\_\_

\section pipe_tasks_photocal_IO         Inputs/Outputs to the run method

\copydoc run

\section pipe_tasks_photocal_Config       Configuration parameters

See \ref PhotoCalConfig

\section pipe_tasks_photocal_Debug              Debug variables

The \link lsst.pipe.base.cmdLineTask.CmdLineTask command line task\endlink interface supports a
flag \c -d to import \b debug.py from your \c PYTHONPATH; see \ref baseDebug for more about \b debug.py files.

The available variables in PhotoCalTask are:
<DL>
  <DT> \c display
  <DD> If True enable other debug outputs
  <DT> \c displaySources
  <DD> If True, display the exposure on ds9's frame 1 and overlay the source catalogue:
    <DL>
      <DT> red x
      <DD> Bad objects
      <DT> blue +
      <DD> Matched objects deemed unsuitable for photometric calibration.
            Additional information is:
        - a cyan o for galaxies
        - a magenta o for variables
      <DT> magenta *
      <DD> Objects that failed the flux cut
      <DT> green o
      <DD> Objects used in the photometric calibration
    </DL>
  <DT> \c scatterPlot
  <DD> Make a scatter plot of flux v. reference magnitude as a function of reference magnitude.
    - good objects in blue
    - rejected objects in red
  (if \c scatterPlot is 2 or more, prompt to continue after each iteration)
</DL>

\section pipe_tasks_photocal_Example    A complete example of using PhotoCalTask

This code is in \link examples/photoCalTask.py\endlink, and can be run as \em e.g.
\code
examples/photoCalTask.py
\endcode
\dontinclude photoCalTask.py

Import the tasks (there are some other standard imports; read the file for details)
\skipline from lsst.pipe.tasks.astrometry
\skipline measPhotocal

We need to create both our tasks before processing any data as the task constructors
can add extra columns to the schema which we get from the input catalogue, \c scrCat:
\skipline getSchema

Astrometry first:
\skip AstrometryTask.ConfigClass
\until aTask
(that \c filterMap line is because our test code doesn't use a filter that the reference catalogue recognises,
so we tell it to use the \c r band)

Then photometry:
\skip measPhotocal
\until pTask

If the schema has indeed changed we need to add the new columns to the source table
(yes; this should be easier!)
\skip srcCat
\until srcCat = cat

We're now ready to process the data (we could loop over multiple exposures/catalogues using the same
task objects):
\skip matches
\until result

We can then unpack and use the results:
\skip calib
\until np.log
