FLIP_AXES -- IPAC ISO First Look Auxilliary Program
Version 5.0
Changes sign of CDELT1 and CDELT2, and changes CROTA2 by 180 degrees.
Usage :
flip_axes [-d directory]
imagefile
[imagefile ...]
Description:
FLIP_AXES takes a list of
simple FITS images; for each image it changes the
sign of CDELT1 and CDELT2, changes
CROTA2 by 180 degrees, and writes the resulting image to a file.
Normally the image is written back to the same directory with the same
filename, destroying the original file. With the -d
option, the
files are written to a specified output directory, preserving
the input files.
Input Files :
The program accepts any scalar FITS images which contain the header
keywords CDELT1, CDELT2, and CROTA2.
Output Files :
The input filename (full pathname) is used as the output filename.
If the -d option is used,
the directory portion of the input filename is removed, then
the specified directory is prepended to
the output filename.
Options :
- -d directory
- create the output files in the specified directory, instead
of the current directory.
Examples :
flip_axes cmap08000212.fit
would convert one file, with the resulting file overwriting the original
input file.
Another example:
Convert all files in a directory:
flip_axes /proj/dat/*.fit
Another:
Convert all files in a directory, putting the results into another directory:
flip_axes -d /var/tmp *.fit
