SCALR3
Type: Adverb (Real)
Use:  Work variable.  Normally just scratch but some tasks use it.
Tasks:
Procedures:
   RMSD..........Calculate rms for each pixel using data in a box around
                 the pixel.  SCALR3 is used in the robust mean/rms
                 computation to exclude samples differing from the mean
                 by more that SCALR3 times the rms.
   SMOTH.........Task to smooth a subimage from up to a 7-dim. image.
                 SCALR3 is the output image beam position angle.
   UVIMG.........Grid UV data into an "image".  SCALR3 > 0 tells UVIMG
                 to omit Hermitian points from the grid.
Procedures:
   CXIMAGR.......Grid UV data into a complex image, Fourier transform,
                 Clean. SCALR3 > 0 tells UVIMG to omit  Hermitian points
                 from the grid.
   Y2KSAVE.......Verifies correctness and performance using standard
                 problems.
