Synopsis Convert a CASA image to a FITS file Description

CASA-produced images can be written to disk for transporting to other software packages. No subimaging of the fits image can be made with this task.


Inputs
imagename	Name of input CASA image
	allowed:	string
	Default:
fitsimage	Name of output image FITS file
	allowed:	string
	Default:
velocity	Use velocity (rather than frequency) as spectral axis
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	False
optical	Use the optical (rather than radio) velocity convention
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	False
bitpix	Bits per pixel
	allowed:	int
	Default:	-32
minpix	Minimum pixel value
	allowed:	any
	Default:	variant 0
maxpix	Maximum pixel value
	allowed:	any
	Default:	variant 0
overwrite	Overwrite pre-existing imagename
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	False
dropstokes	Drop the Stokes axis?
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	False
stokeslast	Put Stokes axis last in header?
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	True

CASA-produced images can be written to disk for transporting
to other software packages.  No subimaging of the fits image
can be made with this task.

Keyword arguments:
imagename -- Name of input CASA image
default: none; example: imagename=’3C273XC1.image’
fitsimage -- Name of ouput image FITS file
default: none; example=’3C273XC1.fits’
velocity -- Use velocity (rather than frequency) as spectral axis
default: False
optical -- Use the optical (rather than radio) velocity convention
default: False;
bitpix -- Bits per pixel
default: -32 (floating point)
<Options: -32 (floating point), 16 (integer)>
minpix -- Minimum pixel value
default: 0 = autoscale
maxpix -- Maximum pixel value
default: 0 = autoscale
overwrite -- Overwrite pre-existing imagename
default=False; example: overwrite=True
dropstokes -- Drop Stokes axis?
default: False; example: dropstokes=True
stokeslast -- Put Stokes axis last in header?
default: True; example: syokeslast=False
        async --  Run asynchronously
                default = True; recommended.
