flipx(1)

flipx1

Flip x axis in a fits image

Usage

flipx <input images>

Overview

This is an example use of the qfits library. This program expects a list of FITS file names in input. For each input file, it will flip the image contained in the main data section in the X direction, i.e. pixel (i,j) is swapped with pixel (lx-i, j).

The pixel loading mechanism is independent from endian-ness of the local host or FITS pixel type. This program offers a good overview of how to use qfits for pixel-level operations.

Options

None.

Files

Input files shall all comply with FITS format.

Releases

Unchanged in 9 releases since Debian 5.0 (Lenny).

  1. 5.0–13

Bugs

Notice that this program does not support cubes or image extensions, but could be easily extended to support that case.
