deconvolver.makegaussian

Make an image with a single gaussian component

Synopsis
makegaussian(gaussianimage, bmaj, bmin, bpa, normalize, async)

Description
Make a model image with the a single gaussian. The properties of the output image (e.g. the co-ordinate system, etc.) are borrowed from the dirty image.

The image is made as follows:

I(x,y)= Delta function of unit amplitude at (0,0)

Temp(x,y) = Gaussian(x,y,Amplitude, Center, Sigma, PA)

I(x,y) = Convovlution of Temp(x,y) with I(x,y).

If normalize=T I(x,y) = I(x,y)/(area under the gaussian).

Arguments

gaussianimage	Name of the output image on the disk
	Allowed:	String
	Default:	''
bmaj	The major axis of the gaussian
	Allowed:	String
	Default:	'0rad'
bmin	The minor axis of the gaussian
	Allowed:	String
	Default:	'0rad'
bpa	The Position Angle of the gaussian
	Allowed:	String
	Default:	'0deg'
normalize	Normalize the area under the gaussian to 1.0?
	Allowed:	Bool
	Default:	T
async	Run asynchronously in the background?
	Allowed:	Bool
	Default:	!dowait
