Detailed Description

Define the emission line object, which is defined by the line parameters and the intensity 
    parameters.
The line parameters define the emitting ion, the wavelength or the transition, the label 
    in PyNeb format, and a flag defining whether the line is a blend or a single transition. 
The intensity parameters describe the observed intensity, the observed uncertainty and 
    the corrected uncertainty
    
Usage:
    line = pn.EmissionLine('O', 3, 5007, obsIntens=[1.4, 1.3])
    line = pn.EmissionLine(label = 'O3_5007A', obsIntens=320, corrected = True)

Parameters:
    - elem        symbol of the selected element
    - spec        ionization stage in spectroscopic notation (I = 1, II = 2, etc.)
    - wave        wavelength of the line
    - blend       blend flag (boolean)
    - to_eval     algebraic expression describing the emission line in terms of single transitions
    - label       line label in the standard PyNeb format
    - obsIntens   observed intensity
    - obsError    uncertainty on the observed intensity

def addObs	(		self,
			newObsIntens,
			newObsError = None
	)

Add observed values to an existing line. 

Parameters:
    - newObsIntens    observed intensity of the line
    - newObsError     error on the observed intensity (optional)

def correctIntens	(		self,
			RC,
			normWave = None
	)

Correct from extinction. The corrIntens and corrError values of the line 
are updated according to the RedCorr object


Parameters:
    - RC        an instantiation of the pn.RedCorr class 
    - normWave  a wavelength for the normalisation of the correction, e.g. 4861.  

def printLine

(

)

Provide information on the line: atom, label, to_eval, as well as the intensities and errors

Usage:
    line.printLine()
