💖 NAME 💖

imresize — AME 🎀

okay bestie, so this is the resize girly. she takes your FITS and IRAF image files and resizes them. that's the whole vibe. AME. that's literally what the name says, don't come for me. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

[-v][-a dx[,dy]][-g dx[,dy]][-m dx[,dy]] file.fits ...

like. you hand her some file.fits files, you sprinkle in the flags you want, and she goes to work. the brackets are all "this part is optional bestie" energy. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Resize FITS and IRAF image files 💅 that's the job. the whole job. she eats every time. 🔥

here's the full menu of flags, no gatekeeping, all of them, in order, periodt:

  • -a dx dy — Mean filter across dx x dy pixels. smoothing things out like a good foundation, fr fr. 🧚
  • -b bitpix — sets the FITS bits per pixel in the output image. you wanna control how chunky each pixel's data is? this is the one. 🎀
  • -f factor — Reduce both image dimensions by factor. both. at once. equal treatment for width and height, as they deserve. 👑
  • -g dx — Gaussian filter, dx pixels square. so blurs, but make it ✨aesthetic✨. 🌈
  • -h halfwidth — the Gaussian half-width at half-height. yes that's the real name, yes it's a mouthful, no I will not be abbreviating it. 🫶
  • -l num — Logging interval in lines. tells her how often to spill the tea about what she's doing. 😭
  • -m dx dy — Median filter across dx x dy pixels. different filter, same "bestie I'm helping" energy. 💜
  • -n — Rotate to North Up East Left. she'll orient that image like the main character it is. 🧭 no wait that's not an emoji in the list. anyway. 📐
  • -o — Allow overwriting of input image, else write new one. > ⚠️ bestie. READ THIS TWICE. with -o she will write over your input file. your original. gone. if you don't pass -o she makes you a fresh new one instead. your call, but know what you're doing. 💀
  • -v — Verbose. she talks more. narrates the whole process. some of us need that kind of emotional support. 🙈
  • -x factor — Reduce image horizontal dimension by factor. width-only girlie. 📏
  • -y factor — Reduce image vertical dimension by factor. height-only girlie. 📐

ok and one last thing, the little paper trail at the bottom of the page said this came from imresize at EB_SOURCE and it's dated February 2026. so that's the source, the version whatever, the date, all of it. slay, go resize something bestie 💖✨
