​

        Task for plotting and interacting with visibility data and

        calibration tables.

​

        Plotms provides a variety of axis choices (including data column)

        along with selection, averaging, and transformation options for

        MeasurementSets.  Flag extension parameters are also available for

        interactive flagging operations in the plotter.

        All of the provided parameters can also be set using the GUI once

        the application has been launched or through the plotms tool (pm).

​

        Most of the basic plotms functions will work for calibration tables.

        The correlation selection string may be used to select polarization

        in a cal table, including ratio plots ("/").  The antenna selection

        string is used to select antenna1 only, rather than baselines as in

        an MS. When plotting parameterized CalTables, such as delays, antpos,

        gaincurve, or opacity, plotms will currently just plot the simple

        parameters contained in the table, not the effective amplitudes or

        phases sampled at observing times, frequencies etc.  BPOLY and

        GSPLINE tables are supported but interactive flagging is not allowed.

        Features currently unsupported for CalTables include averaging,

        transformations (velocity conversions, etc.), and some axis and

        selection options which do not exist in these tables. In the plotms

        GUI, many options irrelevant for CalTables are not hidden when

        interacting with a CalTable, and such settings will be ignored (when

        benign) or cause an error message.
