Below is a list of the most important SM macros I wrote, along with a brief description of what they do.

robustfit: to combat the problems of outliers really screwing up linear fits, this program makes a normal linear fit and then lets you throw away outliers, before refitting.

errorcolor: plots points with different errors in different colors.

makebox: cuts up point area into 5 boxes: 4 sides and the middle. This looks at how things change on the edges of frames.

annuclean: plots points in different annuli from the cluster center. also includes my CMD cuts for M13 and M92, to get all of them look for the section titled "##all stars in main branch, giant branch, and horizontal branch" and be careful which cluster's cuts you're looking at.

pt25: makes the transform plots with the medians. Calls ptmedian.

ptmedian: the routine to actually place the medians and write them out.
