MULT - Multiplies two NDF data structures

Description:

The routine multiplies two NDF  data structures pixel-by-pixel to produce a new NDF.

Usage:

mult in1 in2 out

Parameters:

IN1 = NDF (Read)

First NDF to be multiplied.

IN2 = NDF (Read)

Second NDF to be multiplied.

OUT = NDF (Write)

Output NDF to contain the product 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:

mult a b c

This multiplies the NDF called a by the NDF called b, to make the NDF called c. NDF c inherits its title from a.

mult out=c in1=a in2=b title="Normalised spectrum"

This multiplies the NDF called a by the NDF called b, to make the NDF called c. NDF c has the title "Normalised spectrum".

Notes:

If the two input NDFs have different pixel-index bounds, then they will be trimmed to match before being multiplied. 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 are performed using the most appropriate of the data types integer, real or double precision. If the input NDF structures contain values with other data types, then conversion will be performed as necessary.
