The vmifucombine recipe
===============================================================

.. data:: vmifucombine

Synopsis
--------

Combine partial IFU field-of-views reconstructed by vmifuscience from different quadrants.

Description
-----------

This recipe is used to compose into a single image the reconstructed
images of the IFU field-of-view from different VIMOS quadrants.

Such images are created by the recipes vmifuscience and vmifustandard.

The input images must belong to different quadrants, so that they
cannot be more than 4. The images are simply summed together: in
fact, all field-of-view images are always 80x80 pixels, with only
the sector corresponding to one quadrant having intensities that
differ from zero.


For more details, please refer to the VIMOS Pipeline User's Guide.
