Synopsis
setoptions(ftmachine, cache, tile, gridfunction, location, padding, facets, maxdata)

Description

For most of these, set the options for predict details. See also imager help for more details.

To simulate single dish data, use gridft=SD and gridfunction=PB.

		Default:	0
tile		Size of a gridding tile in pixels (in 1 dimension)
		Allowed:	Int
		Default:	16
gridfunction		Gridding function
		Allowed:	String: 'SF'|'BOX'|'PB'
