mRotate

Description:
Rotates a FITS image by an arbitrary angle. This module is meant for quick-look only; it is not flux conserving.
Syntax:
mRotate [-d level] [-s statusfile] [-r rotang] in.fits out.fits [ra dec xsize [ysize]]

Switches:

-d level
Print out additional debugging information (level can be 1-3)
-s statusfile
Output and errors are written to statusfile instead of stdout.
-r rotang
Provide an angle (in degrees) to rotate the image.

Arguments:

in.fits
Input FITS image.
out.fits
Path to output (rotated) FITS image.
ra dec xsize
Center location and width (in degrees) of output image - optional. By default, entire input image area will be included in output image.
ysize
Height (in degrees) of output image, if a new center location and width are provided. Optional - defaults to xsize.
Results:
[struct stat="OK"]
Output file will contain the same image as the input file, but rotated by rotang degrees. If a new center location and width were provided, the output image will be the "subimage" covering that area.

Examples:

$ mRotate -r 90 in.fits out.fits
[struct stat="OK"]
