18.14.1 Output

[CLEAN\]MAP_COMPRESS WhichOne Nc [First TYPE] [Output]

Output is a string indicating where the results will be placed. It can be

     - Any SIC Image Variable that is not a built-in buffer in IMAGER
       The variable must exist and be of adequate size.
     - A file name. The command will write the result as a GILDAS data file
       with this name.

The distinction between SIC Image Variable and Filenames is based on the presence of a dot (".") or semi-colon (":") that indicate that the string refers to a filename.

Output is compulsory unless WhichOne referes to one of the allowed built-in buffer names (DIRTY, CLEAN or SKY) and forbidden if WhichOne is *. When Output is not present, the result are written in place on the specified buffers.
