asn_generate
Association generation is done either using the command line tool
asn_generate
or through the Python API using either
Main
or generate()
.
Command Line
asn_generate --help
Association Candidates
A full explanation of association candidates be found under the design section.
Default Rules
The default rules are the Level2 and
Level3. Unless the --ignore-default
option is specified, these rules are included regardless of any other
rules also specified by the -r
options.
DMS Workflow
The JWST pipeline environment has specific requirements that must be
met by any task running in that environment. The --DMS
option
ensures that asn_generate
conforms to those specifications.
API
There are two programmatic entry points: the Main
class and the generate()
function.
Main
is the highest level entry and is what is
instantiated when the command line asn_generate
is used.
Main
parses the command line options, creates the
AssociationPool
and AssociationRegistry
instances, calls generate
, and saves the resulting associations.
generate()
is the main mid-level entry point. Given
an AssociationPool
and an
AssociationRegistry
,
generate()
returns a list of associations.
