ASTSCRIPT-RADIAL-PROFILE(1)	  User Commands      ASTSCRIPT-RADIAL-PROFILE(1)

NAME
     astscript-radial-profile - Create a radial profile of an object in an image

SYNOPSIS
     astscript-radial-profile [OPTION] FITS-files

DESCRIPTION
     This script is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.24.

     This  script will consider the input image for constructing the radial pro-
     file around a given center with elliptical apertures.

     For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particu-
     lar the first contains a very comprehensive explanation  of  this	script's
     invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of all the
     options.

     Inputs/Outputs and options:
	    $ info astscript-radial-profile

     Full Gnuastro manual/book:
	    $ info gnuastro

     If  you  couldn't	find  your answer in the manual, you can get direct help
     from experienced Gnuastro	users  and  developers.  For  more  information,
     please run:

	    $ info help-gnuastro
