The VISTA commands for surface photometry of extended objects are:
- CUT
- extract a brightness profile cut along any position angle
- PROFILE
- compute surface brightness profile by elliptical
isophote fitting
- ANNULUS
- compute a radial profile by azimuthal averaging

- aperture photometry of an extended object
- ROUND
- deproject spirals or elliptical images
- POLAR
- regrid an image into polar coordinates
- EGAL
- reconstruct a galaxy from its profile

- reconstruct galaxies from multiple galaxy photometry
- SECTOR
- surface photometry of star clusters or complex
objects
