Overview

MakeNoise is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.19. MakeNoise will add noise to all the pixels in an input dataset. The noise parameters can be specified with the options below.

For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particular the second contains a very comprehensive explanation of MakeNoise's invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of all the options.

If you couldn't find your answer in the manual, you can get direct help from experienced Gnuastro users and developers. For more information, please run:
