Add option for manual masking...

[cyriltasse]

Checking how this goes, I was thinking in the original MakeMask there is an option for manual masking - that proved to be quite useful in some cases... Would be nice to add this... @o-smirnov is the plan to remove MakeMask from DDF?

We don't have to rush to remove it, but we can let it die slowly if this has all the functions...

@Athanaseus added a GUI option... is that what you mean by manual masking?

[Athanaseus]

The GUI currently just view the immediate mask created. Here I had in mind to use bokeh freehand annotation feature to extend/remove regions manually. Not sure if this is what you would like to have?

Here's my $0.02:

I probably wouldn't use a feature that was simply a viewer, but I think an interface for manually editing masks is an excellent idea. I've used GIMP for this purpose a few times, but that's a fiddly process.

Although if the GUI introduces problems with running this on remote machines then I'd rather have no GUI compoent.

Well the GUI components can be imported on demand, so it shouldn't cause any problems remotely. That said, see also #11 that I just opened.

Seconded, this would be epic. I have tried something like this using OpenCV but I gave up pretty quickly. Always meant to get back to it

Yeah perhaps... In MakeMask I was using ds9 regions to select/unselect regions to mask...

For my own purposes I have now developed a system where one can select which of the breizorro mask areas you want to work with, or if you want to specify which area of a field you wish to sum up you can specify the area yourself. In this example shown here, I can just click on the blue breozorro contour (1st figure) which can then get sent downstream for further ananlysis, or if I don't like the breizorro output I can specify a region of the source image (2nd figure).

I am setting up a git repository for my code and will check the code in next week.
