skew


 SKEW  -- shifts row of a frame to add or subtract positions computed from
          a fit file dumped by track. i.e. skew can straigten a spectrum or
          do the reverse.

 The shifting is accomplished by rebinning which smooths somewhat and 
 therefore skew is not a reversible operation. It should not be used say in
 combination with extopt to extract spectra. Use profit and optext 
 instead.

 Parameters:

  IMAGE   -- Data frame to skew

  TRACK   -- spectrum position poly to use

  SKEWED  -- the output frame

  YSTART, YEND  -- the range in Y to skew

  REMOVE  -- TRUE to remove rather than add the fit.

  REBIN   -- Method of rebinning. Linear, quadratic or sin x/x
             interpolation. (The latter is best if profiles are
             undersampled.)

This command belongs to the class: tilted
