"""module for simple .fits image tasks (rotation, clipping out sections, making .pngs etc.)

(c) 2007-2014 Matt Hilton 

U{http://astlib.sourceforge.net}

Some routines in this module will fail if, e.g., asked to clip a section from a .fits image at a
position not found within the image (as determined using the WCS). Where this occurs, the function
will return None. An error message will be printed to the console when this happens if
astImages.REPORT_ERRORS=True (the default). Testing if an astImages function returns None can be
used to handle errors in scripts.
