def task_exportfits.exportfits	(		imagename,

			velocity,
			optical,
			bitpix,
			minpix,
			maxpix,
			overwrite,
			dropstokes,
			stokeslast
	)

Convert a CASA image to a FITS file:
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 input image FITS file
        default: none; example='3C273XC1.fits'
velocity -- Prefer velocity (rather than frequency) as spectral axis
        default: False
optical -- Use the optical (rather than radio) velocity convention
        default: True;
bitpix -- Bits per pixel
        default: -32 (floating point)
        <Options: -32 (floating point), 16 (integer)>
minpix -- Minimum pixel value
        default: 0 (if minpix > maxpix, value is automatically determined)
maxpix -- Maximum pixel value
        default: -1 (if minpix > maxpix, value is automatically determined)
overwrite -- Overwrite pre-existing imagename
        default=False; example: overwrite=True
dropstokes -- Drop the Stokes axis?
        default: False; example: dropstokes=True
stokeslast -- Put the stokes axis last in header?
        default: True; example: stokeslast=False
