14 HPXcvt reorganises HEALPix data into a 2-D FITS image with HPX coordi‐
15 nate system. The input data may be stored in a FITS file as a primary
16 image or image extension, or as a binary table extension. Both NESTED
17 and RING pixel indices are supported. The input and output files may
18 be omitted or specified as "-" to indicate stdin and stdout respec‐
19 tively.
20
22 -C<col>
23 Binary table column number from which to read data, default 1
24 (n.b. WMAP exclusion masks are in column 2).
25
26 -c<sys>
27 Specify the coordinate system to be used to label the output map
28 if the COORDSYS keyword is absent from the input FITS header.
29 Recognised values are g (galactic), e (ecliptic) or q (equato‐
30 rial).
31
32 -n|-r Assume n(ested) or r(ing) organization if the ORDERING keyword
33 is absent from the input FITS header.
34
35 -q<quad>
36 Recentre longitude at quad(mod 4) x 90 degrees, where quad(rant)
37 is an integer.
38
39 -x<n|s>
40 Use a north-polar or south-polar layout (XPH).
