EXPLAIN SECTION

IMMOD: Task which modifies map images by scaling the existing
       map and adding a specific model (See also UVMOD).

VERSION 12june83

                  PURPOSE

     IMMOD modifes an already existing map image by the addition of one
of four model types.  The original map points may be scaled by a
multiplicative factor, including negative values and zero, before they
are added to the model.  Random noise may also be added to the map.  The
four available models to choose from are 1) point source, 2) Gaussian,
3) solid disk, 4) solid rectangle, 5) optically thin sphere, 6)
exponential disk..  The dimensions, offset and position angle are input
by the user.

                  COMMENTS

OPCODE :
          The type model to be used can be selected by OPCODE.  The
allowed models, and their corresponding OPCODEs are listed below.

   1) Point -> 'POIN'
         Only the specified point is altered.  The position is
         determined by FPOS.  The criterion for the point selection is
                 Sqr(X^2 + Y^2) = 0
         where (X,Y) is the current pixel location after correction for
         any offset.  Parameters BMAJ, BMIN and BPA have no affect on
         this model.  The value added is
                 ZEROSP(1) * CBarea / Cellx / Celly
         where CBarea is the Clean beam area and Cellx and Celly are the
         x and y cell sizes.

   2) Gaussian -> 'GAUS'
         The function
                 ZEROSP(1) * (CBarea/NBarea) * EXP (-4Ln(2) * R**2)
         is added to the map where
                 R = Sqrt(XX^2 + YY^2)                     with
                 XX = (Y*Cos(BPA) + X*Sin(BPA))/BMAJ
                 YY = (X*Cos(BPA) - Y*Sin(BPA))/BMIN
         where X and Y are the same as above, but in units of arcsec.
         NBarea is the new area defined by (1.1331 * BMAJ * BMIN)

   3) Disk -> 'DISK'
         A solid disk is added to the map.  The amplitude is
                 ZEROSP(1) * BMarea / (Pi * BMAJ * BMIN / 4)

   4) Rectangle -> 'RECT'
         A solid rectangle is added to the map.  The amplitude is
                 ZEROSP(1) * BMarea / (BMAJ * BMIN)

   5) Sphere -> 'SPHE'
         A circular function is added to the map:
                 ZEROSP(1) * BMarea / NBarea * sqrt (1-R*R)
         where
                 R = sqrt (X*X + Y*Y) / BMAJ
                 NBarea = 2.094 *BMAJ * BMAJ

   6) Exponential
         The function
                 ZEROSP(1) * (CBarea/NBarea) * EXP (-2ln(2) * R)
         is added to the map where R is defined above (in 2) and
                 NBarea = 3.2699 * BMAJ * BMAJ

BMAJ, BMIN, BPA (actually FWIDTH(1 through 3, i) for i'th component

     The dimensions of the resulting functions are determined by BMAJ,
BMIN and BPA (position angle).  For the Gaussian and exponential, the
first two numbers are the FWHM of the two axes.  For the disk and
rectangle, the first two values are the absolute dimensions of the two
available axes.  For the sphere, only BMAJ is used and it is the
diameter of the sphere.

     If either BMAJ or BMIN is zero, then all the models reduce to the
point model.

FACTOR :

     The FACTOR term allows one to add a scaled version of original data
to the model.  FACTOR is simply multiplied by the original data which is
then added to the model.  If FACTOR = 0 then only a map of the model
will remain.
