HDR_COPY
- Copy header information from one image to another
- Description:
- This routine copies a compatible source of header information
from one image to another. FITS headers may only be copied to
FITS headers, other sources may be copied without restriction.
- Invocation:
- CALL HDR_COPY( PARAM1, XNAME1, PARAM2, XNAME2, STATUS )
- Arguments:
-
-
PARAM1 = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
-
Parameter name of the image containing the input source of
header information (case insensitive).
-
XNAME1 = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
-
The name of the extension to be copied ('FITS' or ' '
for FITS).
-
PARAM2 = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
-
Parameter name of the image that you want to copy a header
source into (case insensitive).
-
XNAME2 = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
-
The name of the destination header source ('FITS' or
' ' for FITS, must be FITS if XNAME1 is FITS).
-
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
-
The global status. If a header source or destination is FITS
and the other isn't then IMG__BDEXT will be returned.
- Notes:
- Modified header items associated with the input source will copied
to the new image.
- This routine may be used to copy the same header source (from a
single input image), to more than one image at a time by using
multiple parameter names for PARAM2. Multiple parameter names are
provided as a comma separated list (i.e. 'OUT1,OUT2,OUT3').
