Task: psrplt
Purpose: Plot pulsar visibility data as a function of bin.
Categories: uv analysis

        PSRPLT plots pulsar visibility data as a function of bin number.
        The normal display is a pulse profile (bin vs real part of the
        average visibility), but it can also produce a plot against
        frequency.

Key: vis
        The name of the input uv data sets. Several can be given. No default.

Key: stokes
        The Stokes/polarisation parameters to plot. The default is total
        intensity (stokes=i).

Key: line
        The normal line-type specification. See the help on line for
        more information. The default is all channels.

Key: select
        The normal uv selection commands. The default is copy everything.
        See the help on select for more information.

Key: device
        Normal PGPLOT plotting device specification. No default.

Key: offset
        The offset (in arcsec) to shift the uv data. The sign convention
        is the same as the rest of Miriad. See the help on offset
        for more information. The default is no shift.

Key: axis
        This determines the x- and y-axes of the plot. At the moment, the
        only possibility for the x-axis is:
          bin        Bin number.
        Whereas the y-axis can be
          amplitude  Plot the amplitude. This is the default.
          frequency  Produce a bin vs frequency greyscale display.
          channel    Produce a bin vs channel greyscale display.

Key: options
        Extra processing options. Several can be given, separated by
        commas. Minimum match is supported.
          imaginary Plot the imaginary part of the data. Normally the
                    real part is plotted.
          nocal     This option suppresses antenna gain calibration. The
                    default behaviour is to apply antenna calibration.
          nopol     This option suppresses polarisation calibration. The
                    default behaviour is to apply polarisation calibration.
          nopass    This option suppresses bandpass calibration. The
                    default behaviour is to apply bandpass calibration.
