| Description | The FITS standard allows arbitrary use of name-space for keywords,except some reserved keywords.Results of this freedom is that several keywords have the same meaning.Similar problem is that values of keywords have different physical units.These facts complicate automated data processing and also creation of FITS file archives with simple structure.MUNI-FITS-Utils is a package of Python scripts which have been developed in PyFITS, a Python FITS Module.Scripts are user-friendly and allow manipulating FITS headers to get uniform shape.Further functions will be added soon. |
