Description
`dmextract' creates a histogram from a column of data in a table. Both "scalar" (PHA, TIME, etc.) and "vector" (DET, SKY, etc.) columns are supported. dmextract thus includes the capability to create PHA files, lightcurves, and spatial radial profiles.
In the case of scalar columns, a simple linear binning of the data is available, while for vector columns ('spatial extraction') the user can define the bins via a set of regions. Support for background correction is available for both scalar and vector columns. Vector column extraction also supports exposure corrections and images as input.
