The first element specifies a shift Eastward (lower X-pixel value). The second element specifies a shift Northward (larger Y-pixel value). Thus if both are > 0, the resulting map center is to the Northeast of the input (or the source appears to move down and to the right). The shift is no longer in SIN projected coordinates, so the SHIFT distances measured from an image are NOT exaxctly the number of pixels of offset multiplied by the pixel scale. Null Value: NONE ( 0 => no shift) The shifts are now (15OCT99) simpler to specify since they are in arc seconds at the reference point. They are simply the apparent difference in position on the image ( (Xpix - Xpix_0) * Cell_X, (Ypix - Ypix_0) * Cell_Y ) at least for small differences. For large shifts, use IMXY to give you RA and Dec and then compute the shifts as: SHIFT(1) = cos (Dec_0) * (RA - RA_0) SHIFT(2) = Dec - Dec_0 in arc seconds. The _0 refers to the reference coordinate. Tasks: BSGRD.........Task to image beam-switched single-dish data. DFTIM.........Makes image of DFT at arbitrary point showing time vs frequency. SHIFT sets the location to which the data are shifted. DFTPL.........Plots DFT of a UV data set at arbitrary point versus time. SHIFT sets the arbitrary point. FACES.........Makes images of catalog sources for initial calibration. FRPLT.........Task to plot fringe rate spectra. GSCAT.........Reads Fits Guide star catalog file. SHIFT gives the RA and Dec of field. HAFIX.........Recomputes u,v,w when time is hour angle (UVdata is output of TI2HA). IM2UV.........Converts an image to a visibility data set. POSSM.........Task to plot total and cross-power spectra. SCMAP.........Imaging plus self-calibration loop with editing. SDGRD.........Task to select and image random-position single-dish data. SDIMG.........Task to select and image random-position single-dish data. SETFC.........Makes a BOXFILE for input to IMAGR. TBAVG.........Time averages data combining all baselines. UVFIX.........Recomputes u,v,w for a uv database. UVLIN.........Fits and removes continuum visibility spectrum, also can flag. Data are SHIFTed before the fit, fitted, and then shifted back. UVLSD.........Least squares fit to channels and divides the uv data. Data are SHIFTed before the fit, fitted, and then shifted back. UVLSF.........Least squares fit to channels and subtracts from uv data. Data are SHIFTed before the fit, fitted, and then shifted back. UVMAP.........Makes images from calibrated UV data. ----------------------------------------------------------------
