5.3.6.1 Setting clean boxes

mask can be a list of CASA regions. For example,

  mask = ’box[[80pix, 80pix],[120pix,120pix]],circle[[150pix,150pix],10pix]’

defines a box and a circle. They will be applied to all channels. To define different regions for different channel ranges, it will be best to use interactive mode in clean, the viewer (note that the viewer still created old format regions - they are still supported in CASA 3.3) or to create a CASA region file that contain the different regions. Chapter D describes the syntax of CASA regions. They can be specified by;

  mask = ’regionfile.rgn, regionfile2.rgn’
