Documentation

A notebook_ is provided with an example of calibrating a 1D spectrum using the interactive ArcIdentify class.

An earlier version of the package is demostrated in the iraf notebook_ showing how to use specidentify on IRAF data. Unfortunately, the link to the data that the notebook was based on is no longer available. If you might know where a public version of that data are, please let me know.
