18.42.9      BEAM

[CLEAN\]UV_STAT BEAM [/PLOT]

Evaluate the expected synthesized beam size and orientation, based on current imaging parameters MAP_UVCELL, MAP_ROBUST, MAP_UVTAPER.

If option /PLOT is present, the synthesized beam is also displayed. A fast gridding is used for this command to minimize computing time, so the actual synthesized beam produced by UV_MAP will be (very slightly) different. This does not significantly affect the beam size.
