function, vmin, vmax
Change the transfer function and data range displayed in mapplot.
EXAMPLES
--------

To select a linear transfer function:

 0>mapfunc linear
 Mapplot transfer-function = linear, Data range = data min -> data max.
 0>

To select a logarithmic transfer function, and limit the range of
fluxes displayed:

 0>mapfunc log, peak(flux,min), peak(flux,max)/2
 Mapplot transfer-function = log, Data range = -0.103472 -> 0.162955 Jy.
 0>

To select the whole available data range:

 0>mapfunc linear,0,0
 Mapplot transfer-function = linear, Data range = data min -> data max.
 0>

PARAMETERS
----------

 function  -  The transfer function to use, selected from:
               linear -   Linear transfer function.
               log    -   Logarithmic transfer function.
               sqrt   -   Square-root transfer function.

 vmin      -  The minimum map intensity to be plotted (Jy).

 vmax      -  The maximum map intensity to be plotted (Jy).
              To select the whole data range, set vmin and vmax
              both to zero.

CONTEXT
-------
Mapplot displays images using contours and/or grey-scale/psuedo-color
plots. When grey-scale or psuedo-color are selected (see help
mapcolor), mapplot defaults to mapping the whole range of data in the
map or beam, linearly onto the current colormap. In high dynamic range
images with bright features this has the tendency of making low
brightness features difficult to see. In such cases it is often
advantageous to take the log or square root of the image values,
and/or reduce the maximum intensity plotted. The 'mapfunc' command
allows one to do this.

Note that mapplot also  allows one to interactively change the
transfer function (but not the data range).

Also note that older versions of PGPLOT did not allow one to change
the transfer function, and if you are using such a version, all
transfer functions will appear linear.
