Name
catcube - cube/image concatenation to one cube
Synopsis
catcube [options] [-o output] <cube1> [cube2] ... [cube n]
Description
catcube creates an output cube that is sum on the z-axis
of all other cubes given on command line in order of
appearance from left to right. e.g.
catcube -o outcube cube.001 cube.002 image.001 cube.003
will create an output cube 'outcube' with planes consist-
ing of planes cube.001 first, then planes of cube.002,
then image.001, then cube.003. All planes shall have the
same size (width, height). The pixel depth of the output
cube is the most restrictive, i.e. the one which needs the
highest amount of bits. catcube accepts jokers on command
line :
> catcube -o output.fits ADO*.fits
The default output name is 'cat.fits'. The -o option may
be specified anywhere on the command line. Example: the
following lines are strictly equivalent:
catcube f0001 f0002 -o output.fits f003 f004
catcube -o output.fits f0001 f0002 f003 f004
catcube f0001 f0002 f003 f004 -o output.fits
Files
Input files shall all comply with FITS format Output file
pixel type is the highest input pixel type encountered.
The original FITS header of the first given FITS file on
command line is conserved along, except for the following
keywords: NAXIS, NAXISn, BITPIX, BSCALE, BZERO, which are
related to the newly created file.
HISTORY keywords are appended to the FITS header to indi-
cate the eclipse process modifications.
