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 0.23.

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

       For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particular 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
