Make the images

Synopsis
make_image(ms, imagename)

Description
Make the images. Like most make_* tasks, this is called from dotests() and most of the time you will just want to run that. This function creates and sets up the imager or pimager tool (imager by default but the user can specify via set_imaging_tool_type()). Defaults are chosen if not specified by the user via other set_* functions with deal with the configuration of the imaging tool. Unless appropriate parameters have been set by the user, the imaging tool's advise() function is used for setting some parameters. A dirty image is created, deconvolved, and restored if necessary.

Arguments

ms		The name of the MS on disk.
		Allowed:	String (any valid name of a disk MS)
		Default:	unset (will use the tool default value)
imagename		The output imagename prefix (things like .dirty and .model will be appended to label the appropriate images)
		Allowed:	String (any valid filename)
		Default:	None

Returns
T or fail

Example

- include 'imagerpositiontest.g';
- ipt := imagerpositiontest();
- ipt.make_default_simulator();
