_fPadFits


             _fPadFits(stream,address)  
 
   This function pads with blanks up to the next multiple of 2880 and  
   update address.

_fRescale


             rescaled_data= _fRescale(data, bitpix, bscale, bzero, data_min=, data_max=)  
 
        Linearly rescale the values of input array DATA to fit into  
        integers with BITPIX bits per value (i.e., `char', `short' or  
        `long' for BITPIX being 8, 16 and 32 respectively).  
        Arguments BSCALE and BZERO are optional and purely outputs passed  
        by address.  Their value will be set so that:  
                DATA(i) = BZERO + BSCALE * RESCALED_DATA(i)  
        where the equality may not be exact due to rounding errors.  The  
        difference is however the smallest possible, i.e., less than  
        BSCALE / 2.  
        Keywords DATA_MIN and DATA_MAX may be used to supply the maximum  
        and minimum data values or to set brightness cutoffs.  
        Originally from fitsRescale in the Yorick fits.i distrib.

fitsHdrValue


             val = fitsHdrValue(hdr,keyword,&position,default=)  
 
   Returns the value associated with a keyword in a fits header.  
   Returns "Not a Keyword" if keyword is not found and no default  
   was given.

   Optional parameters:  
   position:    (output) position of keyword in header  
   Optional keyword:  
   default:     (input) default return value if keyword is not found  
                in the header.

fitsHdrValue2


             val = fitsHdrValue(hdr,keyword,&position,default=)  
 
   Returns the value associated with a keyword in a fits header.  
   Returns "Not a Keyword" if keyword is not found and no default  
   was given.  
   Mandatory parameters:  
   hdr:         (input) header, as returned by fitsRead (string array)
