componentlist.convertfluxunit

Change (convert) the flux units of the specified components

Synopsis convertfluxunit(which, unit)

Description The convertfluxunit function is used to convert the flux to another unit. The units must have the same dimensions as the Jansky.

Arguments

`which`	A vector of indices specifying the components to modify
	`Allowed:`	`A vector with indices between 1 and the list length`
	`Default:`	`no default`
`unit`	The units of the flux
	`Allowed:`	`Any string with the same dimensions as the Jansky`
	`Default:`	`Jy`

Returns nothing

Example

      include 'componentlist.g'
      cl := componentlist('crux.cl');
      print cl.getfluxvalue(1);
      cl.convertflux(cl.indices(), 'WU');
      print cl.getfluxvalue(1);

This example converts the flux of all components to ``Westerbork Units''. Assuming the units were originally Jansky's then the numbers printed before and after the call to the convertfluxunit function will differ by a factor of 200.
