output_map*

This routine writes a full sky HEALPix map into a FITS file. The map can be either single or double precision real. It has to be 2-dimensional.

Location in HEALPix directory tree: src/f90/mod/fitstools.F90 

FORMAT

call output_map*( map, header, filename[,extno] )

ARGUMENTS

name & dimensionality	kind	in/out	description
map(0:,1:)	SP/ DP	IN	full sky map(s) to be output
header(LEN=80)(1:)	CHR	IN	string array containing the FITS header to be included in the file
filename(LEN=*)	CHR	IN	filename of the FITS-file to contain HEALPix map(s).
extno	I4B	IN	extension number in which to write the data (0 based). default:0

EXAMPLE:

use healpix_types
use fits_tools, only : output_map
real(sp), dimension(0:12*16**2-1, 1:1) :: map
character(len=80), dimension(1:10) :: header
header(:) = ”
map(:,:) = 1.
call output_map(map, header, 'map.fits')

generates a simple map (made of 1s) and outputs it into the FITS file map.fits
