💫 imrot(1) — General Commands Manual 💫

okay bestie, welcome to imrot, your new fave lil utility, straight outta the WCSTools fam 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

imrot — Rotate and/or Reflect FITS and IRAF image files 🌀🪞

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

imrot [options] Fits or IRAF file(s)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so imrot is a utility for rotating and/or reflecting FITS or IRAF images. that's the whole vibe. 💅

here's the tea though:

• Images can be rotated only in multiples of 90 degrees. that's it, that's the rule, no freeform spinning, this is not a ballet class 🩰
• The image may be output with a different data type than the one it came in as — glow-up in a different format, slay ✨
• IRAF files may be written out as FITS files 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -a — Mirror if IRAF image WCS says to 🪞 iykyk
• -f — Write FITS image from IRAF input 📝
• -l — Reflect image across vertical axis 🙃
• -o — Allow overwriting of input image, else write new one ⚠️ (so if you don't pass this, it makes a new one instead — be careful out here)
• -r <angle> — Image rotation angle in degrees (default 0) 📐
• -s — Split multi-extension FITS file ✂️
• -v — Verbose 🗣️
• -x <num> — Output pixel size in bits (FITS code, default=input) 🔢

and for -x <num>, the allowed values are literally:

• 8, 16, 32 for integers
• -16 for unsigned integers
• -32 and -64 for 4- and 8-byte floating point numbers

no cap, those are the only ones. don't try to freestyle it 🚫
