MAP_COMBINE
[CLEAN\]MAP_COMBINE OutCube CODE In1 In2 [Off] [/FACTOR A1 A2]
[/THRESHOLD T1 T2] [/BLANKING Bval]
Combine in different ways two input images (or data cubes). MAP_COMBINE
does **NOT** request that the inputs have the same angular resolution, nei-
ther the same unit. It is up to the user to avoid combining inconsistent
quantities !...
However, MAP_COMBINE attempts to handle input data in different units in a
reasonably clever way, converting different brightness quantities into a
single unit. Accordingly, depending on the requested operation CODE,
MAP_COMBINE will return the results in different units. In practice, this
is K for brightness (ADD), and no unit for Ratio (DIVIDE), Opacities (OPAC-
ITY) or Spectral Index (INDEX).
MAP_COMBINE also supports an "intuitive" , more mathematical syntax,
MAP_COMBINE OutCube = [A1*]In1 Oper [A2*]In2 [Off]
[/THRESHOLD T1 T2] [/BLANKING Bval]
where Oper can be any of the values allowed for CODE, or one of the 4 stan-
dard operators, +-/*, and scale factors are given in a natural way.
CODE is the Operation Code: see HELP MAP_COMBINE CODE for details. Off is
an optional offset for the operation.
OutCube can be a file name or an existing SIC Image variable. The distinc-
tion is made by the existence of a "." in the name. If it is a file, it is
created like the In1 Variable If it is a SIC Image variable, it must exist
and match the shape of In1.
In1 can be a file name or an existing SIC Image variable.
In2 can be a file name or an existing Image variable. The rank of In2 must
be smaller than or equal to that of In1, and other dimensions must match.
A1 and A2 are scale factors applied to In1 and In2 if needed (default 1).
T1 and T2 are thresholds below which no result is computed (default none).
