image.modify - Function

1.1.1 Modify image with a model

Description

This function applies a model of the sky to the image. You can add or subtract the model which is contained in a Componentlist tool.

The pixel values are only changed where the total mask (combination of the default pixel mask [if any] and the OTF mask) is good (True). If the computation fails for a particular pixel (e.g. coordinate undefined) that pixel will be masked bad.

Example

"""
#
print "\t----\t modify Ex 1 \t----"
ia.maketestimage()

ia.modify(clrec[’results’])
ia.close()

In this example we subtract the model returned by the fitcomponents function.
