gaussian_value, gaussian_radius
Set a gaussian taper to weight down long baselines and reduce sidelobes
EXAMPLE
-------

0>uvtaper 0.5,10
Gaussian taper: value 0.5 at UV radius = 10 Mega-wavelengths
0>

The second line is the response from the 'uvtaper' command, confirming
the selection made by the user. To see what the current values are
without changing them:

0>uvtaper
Gaussian taper: value 0.5 at UV radius = 10 mega-wavelengths.
0>

To cancel a previously set taper type:

0>uvtap 0
No UV-taper is currently set.
0>

PARAMETERS
----------
gaussian_value  - The value of the gaussian taper at 'gaussian_radius'.
                  Valid values lie between 0 -> 1 exclusive. Other
                  values cause the cancellation of any existing gaussian
                  taper.
gaussian_radius - The UV radius at which gaussian taper should have
                  fallen to 'gaussian_value'. (values <= 0 de-select
                  gaussian tapering). Unless changed with the mapunits
                  command, the units are million-wavelengths.

To cancel a previous gaussian taper you should type: uvtaper 0
Whenever a new UV data set is read with the 'observe' command
any existing gaussian taper is cancelled.

CONTEXT
-------
Before the visibilities are inverted to the image plane they are first
gridded. In the process of gridding, individual visibilities are
weighted. Gaussian tapering can be applied in addition to the other forms
of weighting specified with command 'uvweight'. It is generally used
to weight down long baselines in order to increase the signal to noise
ratio of low-surface brightness, extended emission or to reduce
side-lobes during the initial stages of mapping. It does this at the
expense of spatial resolution. The taper selected remains in force
for use by all subsequent uses of the 'invert' command, until 'uvtaper'
is used again to change or cancel the taper.

SIDE EFFECTS
------------
Use of this command will cause the next 'clean', 'mapplot' etc..
to re-invert the modified UV data-set to produce an updated dirty
beam and residual map.

RELATED COMMANDS
----------------
uvweight - Selects combinations of natural,uniform, uncertainty, and
           radial weighting.
uvrange  - Constrain the min and max UV radii within which visibilities
           are gridded.
uvzero   - Set a zero-UV-spacing flux.
