RIFT

Adds a scalar to a section of an NDF data structure to correct rift-valley defects

Description:

The routine adds a scalar (i.e. constant) value to each pixel of an NDF’s  data array within a sub-section to produce a new NDF data structure.

Usage:

rift in scalar out section

Parameters:

IN = NDF (Read)
Input NDF data structure, to which the value is to be added.
OUT = NDF (Write)
Output NDF data structure.
SCALAR = _DOUBLE (Read)
The value to be added to the NDF’s data array within the section.
SECTION = LITERAL (Read)
The pixels to which a scalar is to be added. This is defined as an NDF section, so that ranges can be defined along any axis, and be given as pixel indices or axis (data) co-ordinates. So for example "3,4,5" would select the pixel at (3,4,5); "3:5," would select all elements in columns 3 to 5; ",4" selects line 4. See Section 9 for details.
TITLE = LITERAL (Read)
The title for the output NDF. A null value will cause the title of the NDF supplied for Parameter IN to be used instead. [!]

Examples:

rift aa 10.7 bb "100:105" 20
This adds 10 in the columns 100 to 105 in the data array of the NDF called aa and stores the result in the NDF called bb. In other respects bb is a copy of aa.
rift cubein -100 cubeout "„4"
This adds −100 to all values in the fourth plane of the data array of the NDF called cubein and stores the result in the NDF called cubeout. In other respects cubeout is a copy of cubeout.
rift in=aa scalar=2 out=bb section="-10:5,200 ∼9"
This adds 2 to the rectangular section between columns −10 to 5 and lines 196 to 204 of the data array of the NDF called aa and stores the result in the NDF called bb. In other respects bb is a copy of aa.

Notes:

For similar operations performed on a subset, use the appropriate application to process the relevant section and then run PASTE to paste the result back into the full array.
