Examples

A straightforward implementation of importfits:

importfits(fitsimage='ngc3256.fits', imagename='ngc3256.im', overwrite=True)

Though the user may wish to explicitly set (or re-set), for example, the beam characteristics:

importfits(fitsimage='ngc3256.fits', imagename='ngc3256.im', overwrite=True, beam=['0.35arcsec', '0.24arcsec', '25deg'])

Which will force the BMIN, BMAX and BPA parameters to be 0.35", 0.24" and 25 degrees, respectively.
