NAME

       vmifucombinecube  -  Rearrange  into  cube  format  images  of  extracted  spectraproduced by vmifucalib,
       vmifuscience, and vmifustandard.

SYNOPSIS

       esorex vmifucombinecube [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This recipe is used to rearrange into a single cube the images of extracted spectra from different  VIMOS
       quadrants.  Such  images  are created by the recipes vmifucalib, vmifuscience, and vmifustandard, and the
       classification tag of the product depends on the classification tag of the inputs:

                Input                         Output

          IFU_ARC_SPECTRUM_EXTRACTED    IFU_ARC_SPECTRUM_CUBE
          IFU_FLAT_SPECTRUM_EXTRACTED   IFU_FLAT_SPECTRUM_CUBE
          IFU_SCIENCE_REDUCED           IFU_SCIENCE_CUBE
          IFU_SCIENCE_FLUX_REDUCED      IFU_SCIENCE_FLUX_CUBE
          IFU_STANDARD_REDUCED          IFU_STANDARD_CUBE

       The input images must belong to different quadrants, so that they cannot be more than  4.  The  allocated
       cubes  are  the  smallest  possible, depending on the number of quadrants involved and on whether the IFU
       shutter was on or off. The smallest cubes (20x20xN) are produced when just one quadrant is input and  the
       shutter was on. The largest cubes (80x80xN) are produced when 3 or more quadrants are given in input (and
       when either quadrants 1 and 3, or 2 and 4, are input), and the  shutter  was  off.  Pixels  belonging  to
       missing quadrants are padded with zeroes if necessary.

OPTIONS

       Note  that  it  is  possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable
       default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.
