Location in HEALPix directory tree: src/C/subs/write_healpix_map.c


FORMAT

int write_healpix_map( float *signal, long nside, char *filename, char nest, char *coordsys)


ARGUMENTS

name&dimensionality kind in/out description
       
write_healpix_map int OUT returns a non zero value in case of error
signal float IN full sky map to be written
nside long IN HEALPix resolution parameter of the map (the map should have 12 * nside * nside pixels).
filename char IN FITS file in which to write the full sky map
