    350 '''THE FOLLOWING NOT YET UPDATED FOR MOSAIC-3'''
    351 
    352 
    353 === Generating a Coverage Map ===
    354 
    355 The code pro/coverage_plot.pro will generate coverage maps for a given date range using the info in mosaic-tiles_obstatus.fits.  To run it, login as ??@?? and start IDL:
    356 {{{
    357 IDL>.com coverage_plot
    358 }}}
    359 To produce the plot for a single night use, for example:
    360 {{{
    361 IDL> coverage_plot, datemin='2015-04-07', datemax='2015-04-07'
    362 }}}
    363 To produce a plot for a range of nights use:
    364 {{{
    365 IDL> coverage_plot, datemin='date-start', datemax='date-end'
    366 }}}
    367 To produce a plot for all nights to date use:
    368 {{{
    369 IDL> coverage_plot
    370 }}}
    371 All plots will be put in $??_OBS/obstatus/Plots.  The default is to output a PDF but there are flags to output other formats. 
    372 
    373 The code pro/coverage_plot_alldates.pro will produce a set of cumulative coverage plots (one per day) over a date range.  Within IDL when logged in as ??@?? you enter:
    374 {{{
    375 IDL> .com coverage_plot_alldates
    376 IDL> coverage_plot_alldates, datemin='date-start', datemax='date-end'
    377 }}}
    378 
    379 All plots, consecutively numbered, will be put in $??_OBS/obstatus/Plots/PDFs and can be combined into a movie, e.g with the free graphicconverter [http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/image-editing-slideshow-browser-batch-conversion-metadata-and-more-on-your-mac/] program on Macs. 
    380 
    381 Ben Weaver would prefer that we do not upload any plots to SVN but rather just the code.  So feel free to mail plots around but there is no need to check them in.
