USAGE fimgpar fitsfile[ext#] pixels DESCRIPTION This task reads the value of a pixel in a FITS image extension and writes it as a double to the 'outvalue' parameter in the parameter file. If the pixel is undefined then the task parameter 'undef' will be set to "yes". PARAMETERS fitsfile [file name] The name, including extension and extension number in square brackets (e.g., myfile.fits[3] ) of the input FITS file to be read. By default the first extension will be read. pixel [string] The coordinates of a pixel to be accessed. outvalue [string] The name of an output parameter. (undef) [boolean] Is the value read from the pixel undefined? EXAMPLES 1. Read the value in the 10th row of the 'WAVELENGTH' column in the 4th extension in the FITS file myfile.fits. Then use the IRAF cl to print the value. ft> fimgpar myfile.fits[2] 1,2,3,4 BUGS SEE ALSO fparimg
