Description: For edge on or highly inclined galaxies a radial surface
density distribution can be obtained by this program. it uses
the method described in Warmels, R.H., 1988b, A&AS 72, 427
The core of the method is based on the 'Lucy method'
(The Astronomical Journal, Vol. 79, Number 6, June 1974)
and it is written as a separate task called RADPROF which
is called by RADIAL as if it is a subroutine.
You can use RADPROF independently but then you need
to do the extra work which RADIAL does for you.

RADIAL starts with 2-dim total HI set (INSET=) and uses data
within user given limits (BOX=).
It asks to enter a value for the angle (deg.) of the
major axis wrt. the north in POSANG=.
RADIAL then rotates your set so that its major axis is
parallel to the direction of the east by calling task
REPROJ. The rotation center is entered in OUTPOS=.
The rotated output is stored in 'tempREPROJsetxxxxx'
and displayed in GIDS. Now it is rotated, its data can be
summed in the y-direction and the results of this process
are written in two ASCII files on disk called radialEAST.dat
and radialWEST.dat for both the east and west parts of the
(rotated) galaxy. These files are the basic input files for
the iterative Lucy method.

Now RADPROF is called (deputied). It asks you to
enter a file name to store its results (strip distributions
and surface densities as function of radius as a result
of Lucy"s iterative solution scheme for a radial HI
distribution). The method needs an initial estimate for
the distribution. This is one of the following:
L = Linear Regression
E = Exponential Decreasing
G = Gaussian Distribution
F = Flat Distribution
The abbreviation is used in keyword GUESS=
Further a scale factor is asked in SCF=,
the noise in the data points in SIGMA=
and the maximum number of iterations in ITMAX=
Also the Full Width at Half Maximum is needed (BEAM=).
This is a value in seconds of arc.
Then the iteration starts and the results are written to
file and to a plot on the device that you selected in
GRDEVICE=
