NAME

pfits - to print out image files

SYNOPSIS

pfits fname [box=] [width=]

DESCRIPTION

This routine prints out IN ASCII the numerical values of the file `fname'. The ROWS and COLUMNS are printed as rows and columns to the the screen. The output can be redirected to a file by the redirection symbol >.

The data values are surrounded by row and column labels. The first two lines of the output contain column labels and a set of spacer characters. Each line of data is preceded by a number labeling the row and a spacer character. The output thus looks like this:

NOT READY

If a box is specified, only the values within the box are printed.

Note if the data file (or box) has a large number of columns the output will be very wide and look funny.

The default width of the field in which to print each data value is 5 unless changed by the width= option.
