HELP SECTION

CONPL
Type: Task
Use:  Plots the convolving functions available in AIPS, both in
      the convolving space and in its Fourier transform.
Adverbs:
  INNAME......Input file name (name)    Standard defaults.
                 (Used only to attach the plot file if any.)
  INCLASS.....Input file name (class)   Standard defaults.
  INSEQ.......Input file name (seq. #)  0 => highest.
  INDISK......Disk drive # of input file.  0 => any.
  XTYPE.......Convolution function type in X-direction
              1=Pillbox, 2=exponential, 3=Sinc, 4=Exp*Sinc,
              5=Spheroidal, 6=Bessel/x*exp
                <= 0 or > 6  -> 5.
  XPARM.......Array containing parameters for XTYPE.
              See HELP UVnTYPE when n=convolution type.
  OUTTEXT.....If not blank, list the two functions plotted in a
              text file named by OUTTEXT.  It will be created or
              appended as appropriate.
  BPARM.......Plot control parameters:
         Top plot (Convolution function):
     1 = Minimum of X-axis.
     2 = Maximum of X-axis (if <= BPARM(1) do self-scale in X).
     3 = Minimum of Y-axis.
     4 = Maximum of Y-axis (if <= BPARM(3) do self-scale in Y).
         Bottom plot (1 over FFT of convolution function or
         convolved convolution function)
     5 = Minimum of X-axis.
     6 = Maximum of X-axis (if <= BPARM(5) do self-scale in X).
     7 = Minimum of Y-axis.
     8 = Maximum of Y-axis (if <= BPARM(7) do self-scale in Y).
     9 : <= 0 => do the FFT of the convolving function in the
                  bottom plot
         <= -1 => do the signal-to-noise ratio (for uniformly
                 sampled synthesis imaging = FFT of convolving
                 function divided by FT of SAMPLED
                 autocorrelation of the convolving function
          > 0 => convolve the convolving function with a
                 Gaussian of full width at half maximum of
                 BPARM(9) pixels and polot that in the bottom
                 plot.
     10 : 0 => plot 1 / FFT of the convolving function (or N/S)
          1 => plot the FFT of the convolving function (or S/N)
          2 => plot log10 of the FFT of the conv. function (or
               log(S/N))
  DOCIRCLE....False (<= 0) means that tick marks are short lines
              extending inward from the plot borders.  True (>0)
              requests that a full coordinate grid be drawn.
  DOTV........> 0 => plot directly on the TV device, otherwise
              make a plot file for later display on one or
              more devices (including the TV if desired).
  GRCHAN......Graphics channel (1 - 7) to use for line drawing.
              0 => 1.
