;   over the intensity array, returning values for the intensity, line width
;   and centroid.
;
;   The quality of the spectrum is checked to ensure that a good fit can be
;   obtained (for bad data, the routine can hang while it tries to find a
;   solution).

eis_add_wd_to_spec.pro:

;     This routine takes an EIS spectrum structure and fills in the
;     intensity, error and quality tags using the input eis_getwindata
;     structure and a pixel mask.

eis_adjust_mask.pro:

;     Because of the grating tilt and CCD offset in the EIS
;     instrument, the same pixel position in an EIS image formed from
;     one wavelength will not directly correspond to the same pixel
;     position in an image from a different wavelength. For this
;     reason a pixel mask generated with EIS_PIXEL_MASK needs to be
;     adjusted when being used for another wavelength.
;
;     This routine performs the adjustment using information from the
;     routine EIS_CCD_OFFSET.

eis_ccd_offset.pro:

;     Evaluates the spatial offset of the specified wavelength relative
;     to He II 256. 
; EXAMPLES
;     IDL> offset=eis_ccd_offset(195.12)

;     IDL> plot,l,eis_ccd_offset(l)

eis_cubic_spline.pro:

;     Creates an optimised cubic spline fit to the orbital variation of EIS
;     emission line centroids. The spline is used by eis_orbit_spline to
;     perform the orbital variation correction to the output of eis_auto_fit.

eis_fit_viewer.pro:

;     Widget-based routine for studying the Gaussian fits produced by
;     EIS_AUTO_FIT.PRO.

eis_flag_night.pro:

;     Takes the fit structure from eis_auto_fit and estimates which
;     data-columns fall into orbital night. Any columns identified are set
;     to missing data in the fitdata data arrays, and the new structure is
;     returned.

eis_get_hdr_struc.pro:

;    This routine extracts selected information from an EIS data header
;    into a structure. The particular fields taken from the header are
;    defined in the file $SSW/hinode/eis/idl/atest/pyoung/headcat_tags.txt.

eis_make_image.pro:

;     Given a level-1 FITS file name and a wavelength, this routine
;     creates an image at the specified wavelength by summing 7 pixels
;     across the line profile.

eis_orbit_spline.pro:

;    Takes the centroid tag from the output of the EIS_AUTO_FIT
;    routine and computes a fit to the orbital variation. The velocity array
;    is averaged in the Y-direction (see the keyword YRANGE=), and a cubic
;    spline is fit to the averaged function (see the routine
;    EIS_CUBIC_SPLINE). The spline fit is then subtracted from the centroid
;    array to give the corrected centroid array. The velocity array is also
;    corrected by converting the centroid to km/s.

eis_pixel_mask.pro:

;       This is a mouse-based routine that requires for input an image
;       array. The image is displayed and a `menu' will appear in the
;       IDL window. The options are:
;
;       LEFT:   Go into `polygon' mode
;       MIDDLE: Go into `painting' mode
;       RIGHT:  Exit
; EXAMPLES:
;       EIS_PIXEL_MASK, IMAGE, MASK, WVL, SLIT
;       EIS_PIXEL_MASK, IMAGE, MASK, WVL, SLIT, COL=255, MAXIMAGE=0.5

eis_mask_spectrum.pro:

;     Using a pixel mask created with EIS_PIXEL_MASK, this routine
;     averages the EIS spectra over the specified spatial pixels to
;     create an averaged spectrum. The error bars on the intensities
;     are correctly calculated.
;   EXAMPLE:
;     IDL> eis_mask_spectrum, l1name, mask, swspec=swspec, lwspec=lwspec'

eis_tilt_correction.pro:

;    Corrects the eis_auto_fit fit structure for the tilt of the EIS slit.
;    Both the 1" and 2" slits are accounted for.

eis_winwvl_hdr.pro:

;     For the specifed wavelength window in an EIS data object, this routine
;     returns the wavelength vector for the window.

errors.pro:

;     Given two line intensities/fluxes and their 1-sigma errors,
;     calculates the ratio and the 1-sigma error on the ratio.

fe12_density.pro:

;     Takes the Fe XII 195 and 186 fit structures produced by eis_auto_fit,
;     and creates a density structure containing a density map. The densities
;     are derived used the CHIANTI atomic database.

spec_gauss_eis.pro:

;    This routine is a 'wrapper' for calling the general purpose
;    line fitting routine SPEC_GAUSS_WIDGET. For creating the input
;    spectrum in the correct format, try using the routine
;    EIS_MASK_SPECTRUM.

eis_find_lineraster.pro:

;       Searches if a specific wavelength is within the wavelength
;       range of observation of the rasters in the EIS database.
; Example:
;       Look for 195.33:
;       IDL> acronyms=eis_find_lineraster(195.33,summary=summary,rasters=rasters,lines=lines)
