imsize - Print size of image in WCS and pixels

Synopsis

imsize [-vcd] [-p scale] [-b ra dec] [-j ra dec] FITS or IRAF file(s)

Description

imsize is a utility for printing the region covered by an image using the world coordinate system parameters in IRAF and FITS image headers. It converts IRAF .imh image headers to a FITS format before extracting the information. For IRAF files, the image dimensions and the object name are set from the binary portion of the header.
