Calculate an image smoothed with a Gaussian beam

Synopsis
smooth(model, image, usefit, bmaj, bmin, bpa, normalize, async)

Description
The model images are convolved with the specified Gaussian beam. By default (normalize=T), the beam volume is normalized to unity so that the smoothing is flux preserving. The smoothing used in restoration is not normalized.

Arguments

model		Name of input model
		Allowed:	Vector of Strings
image		Name of output smoothed images
		Allowed:	Vector of Strings
usefit		Use the fitted value (rather than that specified
		Allowed:	Boolean
		Default:	T
bmaj		Major axis of beam
		Allowed:	Quantity record
bmin		Minor axis of beam
		Allowed:	Quantity record
bpa		Position angle of beam
		Allowed:	Quantity record
normalize		Normalize volume of psf to unity
		Allowed:	Bool
		Default:	T
async		Run asynchronously in the background
		Allowed:	Bool
		Default:	!dowait

Returns
Bool

Example

- imgr.smooth(model='3C273XC1.clean', image='3C273XC1.clean.restored',
bmaj='2.0arcsec', bmin='2.0arcsec')
