The code available here is released for academic use only, under the GNU General Public Licence, © 2009 Richard Massey and Alexandre Refregier. It requires IDL v5.4 or above to have been installed on your computer, but the main commands can also be run directly from a shell prompt via simple scripts that are bundled with the files.
A stand-alone set of core routines is included in this distribution, to decompose images into shapelets and to manipulate them; we would be interested to collaborate with anyone requiring more advanced applications. Please at least acknowledge use of the code in any resulting work, referencing Massey & Refregier (2005). Watever happens to the code, we would always be interested to hear about any use you've found for shapelets via rm [at] roe.ac.uk Thanks!
We are very grateful to David Bacon and Tzu-Ching Chang for their help developing the shapelets formalism and their contributions to some of the IDL routines. Thanks also to Alain Bonissent for his careful bug-fixing and optimisation of others. Thanks to Joel Bergé for his continued development of many routines, and his growing manual. Well done Will High and Molly Peeples, for spotting the intentional mistakes put in there to check you were paying attention. Stephane Paulin-Henriksson has shown remarkable patience by for poring through the many options with which the focus routines can converge. If anyone develops more routines that other users may find useful, and which could be included with the shapelets bundle, please do get in touch. Thanks!
