Documentation on regrid
Task: regrid
Purpose: Regrid an image dataset
Categories: map analysis
REGRID regrids an image by spline fitting and resampling. The
regridding parameters can be specified by a template image, by
axis descriptors, or by a start and end range. Blanked input
pixels are excluded from the interpolation arrays. Extrapolated
output pixels are blanked. Regridding of any combination of
the first three axes of an image is supported.
Key: in
The input image name. No default.
Key: tin
Input template image. The axis descriptors of the regridded
image, for those axes specified by keyword "axis", are those
of the template image.
Default is no template image.
Key: out
The output image name. No default.
Key: desc
If "tin" is unset, then specify the reference value, reference
pixel, pixel increment, and number of pixels for the axes
designated by keyword "axis" of the output image.
Note that for RA/DEC axes, the increments are in radians on
the sky. Thus, dRA = dX / cos(dec) and dDEC = dY where you
specify dX and dY.
Defaults are no axis descriptors.
Key: range
If "tin" and "desc" are unset, then specify the start coordinate
value, end coordinate value and pixel increment for the axes
designated by the keyword "axis" of the output image. The reference
value of the output image will be the same as the input image,
and the reference pixel will be recomputed.
Note that for RA/DEC axes, the increments are in radians on
the sky. Thus, dRA = dX / cos(dec) and dDEC = dY where you
specify dX and dY. The start and end coordinates are directly
RA and DEC in radians.
Defaults are no ranges.
Key: axis
Specify axes to regrid with a command such as axis=1,2 to regrid
axes 1 and 2, or 2,3 to regrid axes 2 and 3. No matter
what order you specify axes in "axis", you MUST always give
the axis descriptors in "desc" and "range" in monotonically
increasing axis order (e.g., 1,2,3 or 1,3 or 3 say).
No default.
Key: options
Task enrichment options. Minimum match is active.
nohog If regridding the third axis, the program is quite
expensive on disk and memory resources. It may not
be able to allocate the needed resources. This option
offers a slower and less memory greedy method.
relax Only issue warnings rather than fatal errors if axis type
mismatches between template and input files exist
quiet Don't give so many messages about what row its on etc.
