HELP SECTION

SUBIM
Type: Task
Use:  SUBIM will copy a subarray of a cataloged file to an output file
      and insert a catalog entry for the output file.  SUBIM can handle
      up to 7-dimensions.  If there are Clean Components files attached
      to the input image, they are copied to the output image.  SUBIM
      checks and resets the peak brightnesses and the blanking info.
      SUBIM can read a SCratch file, but always creates an MA file.
Adverbs:
  INNAME......Input name of image(name).     Standard defaults.
  INCLASS.....Input name of image(class).    Standard defaults.
  INSEQ.......Input name of image(seq. #).   0 => highest.
  INDISK......Disk drive # of image.         0 => any.
  OUTNAME.....Output name of image(name).    Standard defaults.
  OUTCLASS....Output name of image(class).   Standard defaults.
  OUTSEQ......Output name of image(seq. #).  0 => highest unique
  OUTDISK.....Disk drive # of Output image.  0 => highest with
              space.
  BLC.........The bottom left-hand pixel of the input image
              which becomes the bottom left corner of the
              subimage.  The value (0,0) means (1,1).
  TRC.........The top right-hand pixel of the input image
              which becomes the top right corner of the
              subimage.  The value (0,0) means take the top
              right hand corner of the image.
  XINC........The X increment to use when selecting columns
              from the source file.        0 => 1.
  YINC........The Y increment to use when selecting lines from
              the source file.             0 => 1.
  ZINC........The Z (axis 3) increment to use when selecting
              planes from the source file.             0 => 1.
  OPCODE......'   ' = select the XINC, YINC, ZINC voxel.
              'AVE' average non-blanked pixels in XINC, YINC box
              'SUM' sum non-blanked pixels in XINC, YINC box
              'MIN' Select Minimum value in XINC, YINC box
              'MAX' Select Maximum value in XINC, YINC box

EXPLAIN SECTION

SUBIM: Task which selects a subregion of an image with some
       optional processing and creates an output image.
DOCUMENTERS:  G. Langston NRAO

                        PURPOSE

SUBIM is useful for copying images and reducing the size of
images.  SUBIM also can be used to smooth an image by averaging
the pixels with the XINC, YINC regions.

Below is an example the results of SUBIM for the various
OPCODEs.

Assume the input image has the following pixels
                X-Pixel
Y Pixel  1   2   3   4   5  6
   6    61  62  63  64  65 66
   5    51  52  53  54  55 56
   4    41  42  43  44  45 46
   3    31  32  33  34  35 36
   2    21  22  23  24  25 26
   1     1   2   3   4   5  6

For BLC=0,0, TRC=5,5, XINC=2, YINC=2,
The following results are produced by the OPCODEs:

OPCODE = '    '                OPCODE = 'MIN'
          X-Pixel                     X-Pixel
Y Pixel  1   2   3           Y Pixel  1   2   3
   3    51  53  55              3    51  53  55
   2    31  33  35              2    31  33  35
   1     1   3   5              1     1   3   5

OPCODE = 'AVE'                 OPCODE = 'MAX'
          X-Pixel                     X-Pixel
Y Pixel   1     2    3       Y Pixel  1   2   3
   3    51.5  53.5  55          3    52  54  55
   2    36.5  38.5  40          2    42  44  45
   1    11.5  13.5  15          1    22  24  25

Note that because the input block starting at pixel 5,5 only
contains 1 pixel, all OPCODEs produce the same result.
Also note that there is a shift of the data for OPCODEs other
than '   ', because the input pixels 1,1 1,2 2,1 and 2,2 all
are combined to produce output pixel 1,1  etc.
