WCS-RESAMPLE(1)

💫 wcs-resample — NAME 💫

okay so bestie, wcs-resample is that girl 💅 she projects one FITS image onto another image. literally taking your pixels and dropping them onto a whole different frame. it's giving celestial glow-up ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

wcs-resample [options] input-FITS output-WCS output-FITS

three positional args, no skips, no shortcuts 🫶 the input-FITS is your source image, output-WCS is where the output world coordinate system goes, and output-FITS is the resampled image that comes out the other side. slay.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -E extension — which FITS extension of the input image we're pulling from. default: 0. yes, the boring first one, but you can point her somewhere else 💖
• -w file — give her a WCS file to read from. by default she just reads the WCS straight out of the input FITS image itself, no extra file needed. independent queen 🌸
• -e file — the input WCS FITS extension to use. default: 0.
• -x extension — the output WCS FITS extension. default: 0.
• -L order — Lanczos order. this is the fancy interpolation setting, and bestie listen — the default is nearest-neighbor resampling, so if you want smooth Lanczos energy you have to ask for it. the order is literally the order number. no cap 🔥
• -z — zero out inf/nan input image value. those little inf and nan gremlins in your image? this nukes them to zero so they stop ruining the vibe. 💀✨
