image.sethistory - Function

Set the history for an image

Synopsis
sethistory(history)

Arguments

history	in	New history
		Allowed:	String or vector of strings
		Default:	None

Returns
T or fail

Description

An AIPS++ image file can accumulate history information from an input FITS file or by you writing something into it explicitly with this function. Each element of the input vector is one line of history. The new history is appended to the old.

Presently, AIPS++ functions do not automatically add history records. You can recover the old history with function history.

Example

- im := image('myfile')  
- h := im.history()
- im.sethistory("I like fish")       # Adds three lines, 'I', 'like' and 'fish'
