6.1 Accessing Ground-Based FITS Images

   

All ground-based images that are stored in the Yohkoh database use the FITS file format.   After you have determined the file name that you wish to read, you can use RFITS or YODAT to read it. A sample call is:
IDL> img = rfits('/yd0/gbo92_37a/gkm920907.1442', head=head)
  The /scale option can be used for data that are stored as byte or integer, but were originally floating point.
