NAME

       HPXcvt - Reorganise HEALPix data into a 2-D FITS image


SYNOPSIS

       HPXcvt [-C<col>] [-c<sys>] [-n|-r] [-q<quad>] [-x<n|s>]


DESCRIPTION

              [<infile> [<outfile>]]

       HPXcvt  reorganises HEALPix data into a 2-D FITS image with HPX coordi-
       nate system.  The input data may be stored in a FITS file as a  primary
       image  or image extension, or as a binary table extension.  Both NESTED
       and RING pixel indices are supported.  The input and output  files  may
       be  omitted  or  specified  as "-" to indicate stdin and stdout respec-
       tively.


OPTIONS

       -C<col>
              Binary table column number from which to read  data,  default  1
              (n.b. WMAP exclusion masks are in column 2).

       -c<sys>
              Specify the coordinate system to be used to label the output map
              if the COORDSYS keyword is absent from the  input  FITS  header.
              Recognised  values  are g (galactic), e (ecliptic) or q (equato-
              rial).

       -n|-r  Assume n(ested) or r(ing) organization if the  ORDERING  keyword
              is absent from the input FITS header.

       -q<quad>
              Recentre longitude at quad(mod 4) x 90 degrees, where quad(rant)
              is an integer.

       -x<n|s>
              Use a north-polar or south-polar layout (XPH).
