NAME

       mHdrWWT - None

SYNOPSIS

       mHdrWWT tileID hdrFile

DESCRIPTION

       Creates the header template for a specific WWT/TOAST tile.  These tiles are not usually of any use except
       in serving the WWT interface, though the files are standard FITS and PNG so can be viewed that way if  so
       desired.  Tiles are identified by WWT tile ID (a Z-ordered quandrant digits string).

ARGUMENTS

       tileID For  the  top-level  (all-sky) TOAST tile, the tileID is an empty string.  For the next level down
              the sky is divided in four "quadrants" with the tileID being "0", "1", "2" and "3".  This proceeds
              to finer granularity, with tiles at the fifth level down having IDs like "3102".

       hdrFile
              Output  header  file,  normally  having  a  name  that  includes  the  tileID (e.g., "planck.hdr",
              "planck3102.hdr").

RESULT

       Generates the specified header file, which will then be used by mProjectQL to reproject input  data  into
       TOAST  tile FITS files (which in turn are converted by mViewer into TOAST tile PNG files).  Normally, all
       this is only used in conjunction with the WWT interface.

MESSAGES

       OK     [struct stat="OK", level=level, xtile=i, ytile=j]

       ERROR  Invalid character in ID string (must be in [0,1,2,3])

       ERROR  Cannot open output header file.

EXAMPLES

       Tile IDs are in the form of a Z-ordered recursion.  For informational purposes, the program also  outputs
       the location of the tile in the  "x" and "y" location it has in the array of tiles for its tile level.

       $ mHdrWWT "3102" planck3102.hdr
              [struct stat="OK", level=4, xtile=12, ytile=6]

BUGS

       The drizzle algorithm has been implemented but has not been tested in this release.

       If a header template contains carriage returns (i.e., created/modified on a Windows machine), the cfitsio
       library will be unable to read it properly, resulting in the  error:  [struct  stat="ERROR",  status=207,
       msg="illegal character in keyword"]

       It  is  best  for  the  background  correction  algorithms  if  the area described in the header template
       completely encloses all of the input images in their entirety. If parts of input images are "chopped off"
       by  the  header  template,  the  background correction will be affected. We recommend you use an expanded
       header for the reprojection and background modeling steps, returning to  the  originally  desired  header
       size  for  the  final  coaddition.  The  default background matching assumes that there are no non-linear
       background variations in the individual images (and therefore in the overlap differences).  If  there  is
       any  uncertainty  in  this  regard, it is safer to turn on the "level only" background matching (the "-l"
       flag in mBgModel.
