PROGRAM:

NAME


mShrinkHdr - Make a FITS header from a template with different pixel scale

SYNOPSIS


mShrinkHdr [-d][-s scale] template.hdr shrunken.hdr

DESCRIPTION


There are two ways to generate "thumbnail" images. One is to build a full-resolution
mosaic
and shrink it down using mShrink to the scale desired. This process can be costly if
the
full resolution image is not desired (or not desired yet). It is much faster to mosaic
at
the scale of the thumbnail itself. One reason for doing this could be to evaluate
whether
th full-resolution mosaic is worth building at all.

mShrinkHdr is a simple utility that takes a FITS header template (such as might come out
of
mMakeHdr or mHdr) and make a new one at a differenc pixel scale. The default scale for
this
new header is 200 pixels, though the user can override this with any value.

OPTIONS


-d

Turn on debugging.

-s scale

Set the size in pixels of the larger axis.

ARGUMENTS


template.hdr

Original FITS header template.

shrunken.hdr

"Thumbnail" FITS header template.

RESULT


If successful, the result is a new FITS header template with a size and
pixel scale appropriate to making a thumbnail mosaic.
