UV_PREVIEW Output

          UV_PREVIEW returns the list  of  possible  line  channels  through
    variable  PREVIEW%CHANNELS.  If  no  line emission was identified at any
    scale, the list is empty and the variable does not exist.

    With this list, the user can compute the continuum image, using commands
    UV_FILTER /CHANNELS PREVIEW%CHANNELS (or simply UV_FILTER), then UV_CON-
    TINUUM and the usual UV_MAP and CLEAN. Alternatively, the user can  fil-
    ter out the continuum emission using UV_BASELINE.

    If  a  catalog  is  present, UV_PREVIEW also creates several other vari-
    ables.  PREVIEW%FOUND indicates the spectral line falling  in  the  fre-
    quency  range,  while  PREVIEW%DETECTED  indicates  the dectected lines.
    These two structures have the following variables, e.g. for FOUND:
    PREVIEW%Found%FREQ     The line frequencies
    PREVIEW%Found%LINES    The line names
    PREVIEW%Found%SPECIES  The molecule name
    PREVIEW%EDGES and  PREVIEW%FREQUENCIES contains the start and end
    channels (for %EDGES, resp. frequencies for %FREQUENCIES) of each
    contiguous range of channels in PREVIOUS%CHANNELS. These variables
    are used for line identification and imaging in the
      @ image_lines
    script.

    Finally, UV_PREVIEW returns in PREVIEW%FMIN PREVIEW%FMAX  the  frequency
    coverage,  and  in  PREVIEW%FREQ  the  rest frequency of the most likely
    spectral line in the window, and in PREVIEW%LINES its name.  If no spec-
    tral  line  has  been  identified, PREVIEW%FREQ is just the mean of PRE-
    VIEW%FMIN and PREVIEW%FMAX, and PREVIEW%LINES does not exist.
