RT M - RoTate - image or volume, use minimum as background

PURPOSE

Rotates an image counter-clockwise around the center (NSAM/2 + 1, NROW/2 + 1). (Negative angles: clockwise. Note that the notions "clockwise" and "counter-clockwise" refer to the mirrored x-y system used for image display). The background rotated into the image field is the minimum of the input image.

USAGE

.OPERATION: RT M

.INPUT FILE: H_PIC001
[Enter the name of the file to be rotated.]

.OUTPUT FILE: H_IMG047
[Enter the name of the file where the rotated image is to be kept.]

.ROTATION ANGLE: 90.0
[Enter the rotation angle in degrees.]

[PIC001 will then be rotated 90 degrees, and the rotated image put in ROT001.]

NOTES

1. The rotation angle can be specified by reference to a register: '-X10' will input the rotation angle (with inverted sign) found in a previous 'OR X10' operation. Whether or not the sign has to be inverted follows from the order of argument files in 'OR'.

2. The input file may be three-dimensional. In this case, each of the slices is separately rotated around the z-axis, and stored in the output file which will be created with the same dimensions.
