imagecalc(1)

💖 imagecalc(1) — the general commands manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, listen up, because this one is tiny but it's also lowkey iconic. it's imagecalc, it lives in the general commands manual, and it does exactly one thing and does it with main character energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

imagecalc — calculate an output image from an image expression

like... that's the whole pitch. you give it an expression, it gives you an image. no cap. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

imagecalc input output [hdf5?]

three little slots, that's it. input, output, and the optional little hdf5? garnish. the way that it's this simple?? obsessed. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — imagecalc is a small tool that comes with the casacore source. it's giving humble. it's giving "I'm not gonna overexplain myself."

what does it do though? fr fr, it calculates an output image from an image expression. that's the vibe. you bring an expression, it hands you back an image. periodt. 💜

and about that third thing in the synopsis — hdf5? — it specifies if the output is in hdf5 format. so if you want your output looking all hdf5-y, that's the flag you're reaching for. no extra lore, no secret menu, that's literally what it does. 🌈
