CMETHOD
Type:  Adverb  (String*4)
Use:   To select the method used to compute the fringe visibilities of
       the source model.
       'DFT ' uses the direct Fourier transform, which is the most
              accurate.
       'GRID' does a gridded-FFT interpolation model computation.
       '    ' allows the program to use the fastest method, which is
              usually DFT at the beginning of a Clean and GRID later
              when there are more Clean components to subtract
Null value:
