5.2.1 Parameter cell

The cell parameter defines the pixel size in the x and y axes for the output image. If given as floats or integers, this is the cell size in arc seconds, e.g.

  cell=[0.5,0.5]

make 0.5′′ pixels. You can also give the cell size in quantities, e.g.

  cell=[’1arcmin’, ’1arcmin’]

If a single value is given, then square pixels of that size are assumed.
