The MAP_* suite of commands ( MAP_COMBINE, MAP_COMPRESS, MAP_INTEGRATE MAP_REPROJECT, MAP_RESAMPLE, MAP_SMOOTH and MAP_CONVOLVE allow basic operations on Data Cubes: combinations, rotation, spatial and spectral resampling, comparisons.
Command COMBINE simplifies Data cube combinations, by combining individual steps that are otherwise available in MAP_REPROJECT, MAP_RESAMPLE, MAP_COMBINE, while command VIEW /OVERLAY allows visual comparison of two data cubes.
MAP_CONTINUUM allows extraction of the continuum emission from spectral line data cubes, trying to avoid as much as possible line contamination in a spatially dependent (or independent) way.
