image.fromforeign - Function

1.1.1 Construct a CASA image from a foreign package image file. NOT IMPLEMENTED. DEPENDS ON EXTERNAL PACKAGES.
Description

This function is used to convert a foreign package image file to a CASA image. This is done via an intermediary FITS file which is created by the foreign package. In order for this function to work, you must have the foreign package installed; it is not part of CASA. Currently supported are Miriad and Gipsy files.

If outfile is given, the image is written to the specified disk file. If outfile is unset, the Image tool is associated with a temporary image. This temporary image may be in memory or on disk, depending on its size. When you close the Image tool (with the close function) this temporary image is deleted.
