NAME

       flipx - Flip x axis in a FITS image

SYNOPSIS

       flipx <input images>

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  an  example  use of the qfits library. This program expects a
       list of FITS file names in input. For each input file, it will flip the
       image contained in the main data section in the X direction, i.e. pixel
       (i,j) is swapped with pixel (lx-i, j).

       The pixel loading mechanism is  independent  from  endian-ness  of  the
       local  host  or FITS pixel type. This program offers a good overview of
       how to use qfits for pixel-level operations.

OPTIONS

       None.

FILES

       Input files shall all comply with FITS format.

BUGS

       Notice that this program does not support cubes  or  image  extensions,
       but could be easily extended to support that case.
