Variables

The user can modify directly the header variables whose names are given below. The file is modified when typing the command HEADER /UPDATE .

 G_VELOFF           REAL              Velocity at reference pixel
 G_VELRES           REAL              Velocity increment
 G_RESTFRE          DOUBLE            Rest frequency at reference pixel
 G_FREQOFF          DOUBLE            Image frequency at reference pixel
 G_FREQRES          DOUBLE            Frequency increment
 G_LINE             CHARACTER *12     Line name
 G_BII              DOUBLE            Galactic latitude
 G_LII              DOUBLE            Galactic longitude
 G_DEC              DOUBLE            Declination
 G_RA               DOUBLE            Right ascension
 G_EPOCH            REAL              Epoch of equatorial coordinates
 G_SOURCE           CHARACTER *12     Source name
 G_COORD            CHARACTER *12     Coordinate system
 G_UNIT             CHARACTER *12     Map units
 G_UNIT4            CHARACTER *12     4th axis type
 G_UNIT3            CHARACTER *12     3rd axis type
 G_UNIT2            CHARACTER *12     2nd axis type
 G_UNIT1            CHARACTER *12     1st axis type
 G_EXTREMA          INTEGER   [ 2, 4] Position of extremax (min, max)
 G_MIN              REAL              Value of minimum
 G_MAX              REAL              Value of maximum
 G_BLANK            REAL      [ 2]    Blanking and tolerance values
 G_CONVERT          DOUBLE    [ 3, 4] Pixel to user coordinate conversion
 G_DIM              INTEGER   [ 4]    Dimensions
 G_NDIM             INTEGER           Number of dimensions

The pixel to user coordinate conversion for a given Axis is

Val(Pixel) = (Pixel-G_CONVERT[1,Axis])*G_CONVERT[3,Axis]+G_CONVERT[2,Axis]
and the user coordinate to pixel
Pixel(Val) = NINT(Val-G_CONVERT[2,Axis])/G_CONVERT[3,Axis]+G_CONVERT[1,Axis])
