UV_MAP /CONT

        [CLEAN\]UV_MAP  [CenterX  CenterY  Unit]  [ANGLE  AngleValue]  /CONT
    [Naver] [/INDEX Alpha] [/RANGE Min Max Type]

    Produce  a Continuum image (from all channels, or those selected  by the
    specified Velocity, Frequency or Channel range (depending on  Type)  be-
    tween Min Max when the option /RANGE is present), using a Multi-Frequen-
    cy Synthesis, where (u,v) coordinates are  scaled  with  Frequencies  to
    produce an optimal beam.

      Naver is the number of initial channels that will share the same (u,v)
    coordinates. If not present, it is computed from MAP_FIELD and  MAP_CELL
    to limit bandwidth smearing.

    In  essence,  UV_MAP  /CONT  behaves  as the combination of UV_CONTINUUM
    followed by UV_MAP, but the pseudo-continuum UV Table created by UV_CON-
    TINUUM is not kept by UV_MAP /CONT.

    A spectral index can be specified using option /INDEX.
