imagerpositiontest.set_mem_parms - Function

	Package	synthesis
	Module	synthesistester
	Tool	imagerpositiontest

Set parameters to be used in a mem deconvolution.

Synopsis
set_mem_parms(algorithm, niter, sigma, targetflux, constrainflux, displayprogress, fixed)

Description
Set parameters to be used in a mem deconvolution. These parameters are passed to (p)imager.mem() by make_image().

Arguments

algorithm		MEM algorithm to use
		Allowed:	String:'entropy'|'emptiness'|'mfentropy'|'mfemptiness'
		Default:	'entropy'
niter		Number of mem iterations
		Allowed:	Integer >= 0
		Default:	20
sigma		Image sigma to try to achieve
		Allowed:	Quantity (flux density)
		Default:	'0.001Jy'
targetflux		Target flux for final image
		Allowed:	Quantity (flux density)
		Default:	'1.0Jy'
constrainflux		Constrain image to match target flux? else targetflux used only to initialize model
		Allowed:	Boolean
		Default:	F
displayprogress		Display the progress of the deconvolution
		Allowed:	Booean
		Default:	F
fixed		Keep model fixed?
		Allowed:	Vector of booleans
		Default:	F

Returns
T or fail

Example

- include 'imagerpositiontest.g';
- ipt := imagerpositiontest();
# set up a single field mem test 
- ipt.set_deconvolution_function('mem');
- ipt.set_mem_parms(algorithm='emptiness',niter=25,sigma='0.15Jy');
T
- ipt.dotests();
