Make an empty (i.e. blank) image

Synopsis
make(image, async)

Description
Make an empty image using the current image parameters. Often this is unnecessary, but you will typically need to use this if you wish to deconvolve a set of images. The steps are to make the empty images that you require to be deconvolved, and then pass them into clean as a vector of strings.

Arguments

image		name of output image
		Allowed:	String
async		Run asynchronously in the background
		Allowed:	Bool
		Default:	!dowait

Returns
Bool

Example

imgr.setimage(nx=1024,ny=1024, cellx='30marcsec',celly='30marcsec', 
nchan=1, stokes='IV', phasecenter=dm.direction('mars'));
imgr.make('mars.moving');
imgr.setimage(nx=1024,ny=1024, cellx='30marcsec',celly='30marcsec', 
nchan=1, stokes='IV', 
phasecenter=dm.direction('j2000', '12:23:48.7', '-15:56:32.9')
imgr.make('mars.fixed');
imgr.clean(algorithm='mf', model=['mars.moving', 'mars.fixed'],
image=['mars.moving.restored', 'mars.fixed.restored'])

This makes two empty images, one moving with mars and one fixed in j2000, and then deconvolves the two jointly using clean. Finally the images are restored.
