Description:
The routine
divides one
NDF data structure by another pixel-by-pixel to produce a new NDF.
Usage:
div in1 in2 out
Parameters:
IN1 = NDF (Read)
First NDF, to be divided by
the second NDF.
IN2 = NDF (Read)
Second NDF, to be divided into the first NDF.
OUT = NDF (Write)
Output NDF to contain the ratio of the two input NDFs.
TITLE =
LITERAL (Read)
The title for the output NDF. A null value will cause the title of the
NDF supplied for Parameter IN1 to be used instead. [!]
Examples:
div a b c
This
divides the NDF called a by the NDF called b, to make the NDF called c. NDF c
inherits its title from a. div out=c in1=a in2=b title="Normalised data"
This
divides the NDF called a by the NDF called b, to make the NDF called c. NDF c has
the title "Normalised data". Notes:
If the two input NDFs have different
pixel-index bounds, then they will be trimmed to match before being divided. An
error will result if they have no pixels in common.

Implementation Status:
-
This routine correctly processes the AXIS, DATA, QUALITY, LABEL, TITLE, UNITS,
HISTORY, WCS, and VARIANCE components of an NDF data structure and propagates all
extensions.
-
Processing of bad pixels and automatic quality masking are supported.
-
All non-complex numeric data types can be handled. Calculations will be performed using
either real or double precision arithmetic, whichever is more appropriate. If the input
NDF structures contain values with other data types, then conversion will be performed
as necessary.
-
Huge NDFs are supported.
