🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, meet imsmooth — aka AME. that's the whole name. short, mysterious, iconic. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

yes the bracket situation is chaotic, no i will not be fixing it, it is what it is. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she DO? imsmooth filters FITS and IRAF image files. that's the whole vibe: you hand her image files and she smooths them. 🦋

and here's the full menu of what you can ask for, no skips, no edits:

  • -a dx dy — mean filter, dx x dy pixels. averaged out, soft-focus era. ✨
  • -g dx dy — Gaussian filter, dx x dy pixels. the classic blur, very demure. 🌸
  • -h halfwidth — Gaussian half-width at half-height. (yes that's the real name of the parameter, say it with your chest.) 🎀
  • -l num — logging interval, in lines. so she'll chirp at you every num lines about how it's going. 💬
  • -m dx dy — median filter, dx x dy pixels. the one that eats outliers for breakfast. 🔥
  • -o — allow overwriting of the input image. if you DON'T pass this, she writes a new one instead, because she's polite like that. 🫶
  • -v — verbose. she will simply tell you everything. main character narration mode. 👑
heads up lovely: you're passing file.fits ... — plural, she takes a whole lineup of them. 🌈

okay that's the whole page, you now know everything the page knows, which is also everything i know. no cap. 💜
