[docs]class linearmosaic: r""" combining images in a weighted fashion The ``linearmosaic`` tool (``lm``) provides a toolkit for stitching images in a weighted fashion. The default linear mosaic equation is defined by Equation (6) in Cornwell, Holdaway et al (Astronomy and Astrophysics, Vol. 271, p. 697 (1993)). .. math:: I^{lm}(\theta)={{\sum_p A\_p(\theta)(I_p(\theta)A_p(\theta))w_p}\over{\sum_p A\_p^2(\theta)w_p}} where :math:`A_p(\theta)` is the primary beam (PB) of a given pointing :math:`p`, :math:`w_p` is a sensitivity weight and the image of that pointing is :math:`I_p(\theta)`; the linear mosaic being :math:`I^{lm}(\theta)` """

If an image of the same name exist on disk it will be erased. The spectral and polarization part of the image will be identical to the images that are being mosaiced.
