MAP_SMOOTH
[CLEAN\]MAP_SMOOTH WhichOne Nc [Result] [/ASYMMETRIC]
Smooth a 3-D data cubes by Nc channels along the velocity axis.
Nc number of channels to be averaged in smoothing.
WhichOne indicates which data cube must be compressed. Allowed values are
- Built-in buffers DIRTY, CLEAN, SKY, SINGLE or *, which means all
of the previous existing ones. Smoothing is done in place.
- Any SIC Image Variable that is not a built-in buffer in IMAGER.
- A GILDAS data file
For the two later cases, the Result argument indicates where the smoothed
data cube is stored. Result can be a file name or an existing SIC variable
of adequate dimensions.
By default, the smoothing does not modify the spectral sampling of the
cubes. While this naturally occurs when the smoothing number Nc is odd, the
Nc even case requires a specific handling. For Nc even, the smoothed chan-
nel at channel "i" sums up half of channel i-Nc/2, half of channels i+Nc/2
and all channels in between. Thus for Nc=2, this is a Hanning smoothing.
Like for UV_SMOOTH, this behaviour can be modified by option /ASYMMETRIC.
