DescriptionThese routines provide a high-level interface to a CCD-like image
structure. read_image() reads in a full image (which may be a cube), pointed
to by the pointer iptr from a file pointed to by the stream instr. It returns
0 in case of an error (allocation), 1 if OK. On success iptr contains a
valid address for an image. iptr is allocated using malloc(3), and free_image()
can be used to free the space (free(3)) used by an image. write_image()
writes the image pointed to by iptr to a file outstr. create_image() is
like read_image, but only allocates space and sets most image header (except
the size) variables to zero. create_cube() is the extension of create_image()
for 3D images. copy_image copies an image, but not the image elements. All
header elements are copied. AuthorPeter Teuben See Alsoimage(5NEMO), fits(5NEMO)
