Compute a UV table containing the radial distribution of the azimutal aver-
age of the visibilities after deprojection for inclination and orientation
(Incli, Rota, in Degrees) around a specified center (x0,y0 in Radians).
ROTA is here the position angle of axis of (assumed) rotational invariance
of the object. Thus, when using results from UV_FIT one should use ROTA =
PA-90, where PA is the Position Angle of the Major axis.
The result becomes the current UV table. The resulting UV table has a (u,v)
coverage which is extended by rotation, so that it can be used to image the
(rotationally symmetric) 2-D radial distribution using standard commands
like UV_MAP and CLEAN. The radial profile of the brightness distribution
can then be recovered by using any radial cut through this image.
Note, however, that in a SHOW UV command with "radius" along one axis, all
visibilities at different azimut are superimposed. See UV_CIRCLE for a dif-
ferent way of computing an azimutal average, more suited for SHOW UV.
