Issue DM-1761: Provide input data for exampleCmdLineTask.py
{{pipe_tasks/examples/exampleCmdLineTask.py}} reads data from a repository. The comments in {{pipe_tasks/python/lsst/pipe/tasks/exampleCmdLineTask.py}} suggest that {code} # The following will work on an NCSA lsst* computer: examples/exampleCmdLineTask.py /lsst8/krughoff/diffim_data/sparse_diffim_output_v7_2 --id visit=6866601 {code} There are a few problems with that: * External contributors don't have access to {{lsst*}}; * Even though that data exists now, it's unclear how long it will remain there, or what steps are being taken to preserve it; * The mention of this data is fairly well buried -- it does appear in the documentation, but it's certainly not the first thing a new user will stumble upon. At least the first two points could be addressed by referring to a publicly available data repository. For example, the following works once {{afwdata}} has been set up: {code} examples/exampleCmdLineTask.py ${AFWDATA_DIR}/ImSim --id visit=85408556 {code} Although this has the downside of only providing a single image.
