NBOXES
Type: Adverb   (Real)
Use:  The number of boxes associated with a verb, task, or procedure.
      It is often associated with CLBOX giving areas in an image. e.g.,
      for Clean.  It is also used as the number of samples (ranges) in
      X, where the histogram is the number of occurences as a function
      of X (e.g. image intensity, visibility amplitude).
Null value:  0
      Null value is usually assigned 1 for areas or some rather larger
      number for histograms.
Verbs:
   DELBOX........Verb to delete boxes with TV cursor & graphics display.
   DRAWBOX.......Verb to draw Clean boxes on the display.
   REBOX.........Verb to reset boxes with TV cursor & graphics display.
   TVBOX.........Verb to set boxes with TV cursor & graphics display.
Procedures:
   BOX2CC........Converts CLBOX in pixels to CCBOX in arc seconds.
   CXIMAGR.......Grid UV data into a complex image, Fourier transform,
                 Clean.
   LINIMAGE......Build image cube from multi-IF data set.
   MAPPR.........Simplified access to IMAGR.
   TKNBOXS.......Procedure to set Clean boxes 1 - n with the TK cursor.
Tasks:
   APCLN.........Deconvolves images with CLEAN algorithm.
   APGS..........Deconvolves image with Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm.

   GREYS.........Plots images as contours over multi-level grey.
   HISEQ.........Task to translate image by histogram equalization.
                 NBOXES is the number of output intensity intervals.

                 is the number of regions over which to find values.
   PCHIS.........Generates a histogram plot file from text input, e.g.
                 from PCRMS.  NBOXES gives the number of samples
                 (ranges) in the histogram.
   PFPL3.........Paraform Task to generate a plot file: (does histogram).
                 NBOXES is the number of samples in the histogram.

                 histogram.
   RIRMS.........Computes rms of real/imag of a selected subset of a uv
                 data set.  NBOXES is the number of samples in the
                 histogram.
