FITS Toolbox for FITS I/O.

FITS is the Flexible Image Transport System file format.

Reads and writes FITS files.
Modifies FITS headers.
Not all features in the FITS standard are implemented.

Basic I/O
    fitsload                         Loads data and header.
    fitswrite                          Writes data and header data to FITS file.
    (fitswrite_2                  Another implementation of fitswrite. It may work better)

Input of header values
    fitsfindkeyvalue           Returns numeric value associated to keys.
    fitsfindkeystring           Returns text string associated to key.
    fitsfindkeycomment     Returns comment string from key in header list.
    fitsfindkey                     Finds the order number of a key.
    fitsfindnextkey             Returns number of the next key with the same name as the
                                            key whose number is supplied.

Header modification
    fitsaddkey                      Adds new key to header.
    fitsremovekey                Removes one or more keys in header.
