charea is a program for naming McIdas AREA files.
This repo contains a remake of the old charea program that was written in C.
The goal of the remake is threefold:
- Document how charea works.
- Preserve 1-to-1 functionality in the remake.
- Enhance future maintainability of the remake.
Documentation is contained in the file with comments.
Testing verifies that the remake has the same functionality.
Writing the remake in python ensures that it is maintainable.
Please note that python >= 2.7 is required to run the new charea remake.
After installation, using chmod +x charea will allow it to run without directly using python from the command line.
This remake was created and maintained by Max Drexler.
