NAME

       Crop - crop regions of a dataset

SYNOPSIS

       astcrop [OPTION...] [Crop-Identifier] ASTRdata ...

DESCRIPTION

       Crop  is  part  of  GNU  Astronomy  Utilities 0.19.  Crop will create cutouts, thumbnails,
       postage stamps or crops  of  region(s)  from  input  image(s)  using  image  or  celestial
       coordinates.  If  muliple crops are desired, a catalog must be provided. When in WCS mode,
       if the cut out covers more than one input image, all  overlapping  input  images  will  be
       stitched in the output.

       For  more  information, please run any of the following commands. In particular the second
       contains a  very  comprehensive  explanation  of  Crop's  invocation:  expected  input(s),
       output(s), and a full description of all the options.

       All options and their values:
              $ astcrop -P

       Inputs/Outputs and options:
              $ info astcrop

       Full section in manual/book:
              $ info Crop

       Full Gnuastro manual/book:
              $ info gnuastro

       Gnuastro users and developers. For more information, please run:
