complexToSquare

Return to directory of Todd's CASA extensions

Uses immath to convert a complex image (or a list of images) into its square (amplitude**2). Useful for ALMA holography and TICRA model images. See also complexToAmplitude, complexToImaginary, and complexToReal.

Usage:

au.complexToSquare(filelist, regrid=False, outdir='', normalize=False)

• regrid: if True, then rewrite the header with Direction coordinates using convertImageToDirectionType (to allow imfit)
• outdir: the output directory in which to write the new image
• normalize: if True, then call au.normalizeImage after converting

Examples:

au.complexToSquare('uid*complex')
au.complexToSquare(['uid1', 'uid2'])
