	Maps image values to rows in a table
   
 
dmimgpick infile imgfile outfile method [clobber] [verbose] 
	'dmimgpick' will map values from an image to rows in
	a table.  Typical kinds of uses include getting background
	values for source postions, exposure values for sources, etc. 
      
 
	The input image must have axis names that map to columns in
	the input table.  An error will be generated if the tool
	cannot find the axes names.  For each row in the table, the
	columns that correspond to the image axes are mapped into the
	image coordinates.  The values closest to the location are
	extracted and then interpolated based on the user selected
	criteria. 
      
 
dmimgpick mysrc.fits expmap.fits srcexp.fits method=minimum
	For each source in the source list, find the value of the
	exposure map and get the minimum value (useful for edge detections).
     
 
	The input table name
    
 
        The input table.  There must be columns with the same name 
	as the axes in the 'imgfile' parameter.
      
 
	The input image file
    
 
	The input image file.  The axes names need to match the columns
	in the 'infile' parameter.  The output column in the
	'outfile' will be the name of the input image file
	and will have the same units as the image. 
      
 
	The output file name
    
 
        A copy of the input file with a new column (double data type)
	containing the interpolated image values.
      
 
Parameter=method (string required default=weight)
	Interpolation method
    
 
        The column values in the table are mapped to the image and the
	4 closest pixel values (and their locations) are returned.
	The user can select from the following interpolation methods:
      
 
weight - a weighted average.  The weight is the distance 
	  from the image pixels to the location mapped onto the image.
average - a simple average of the 4 pixel values.
mininum - the minimum of the 4 pixel values
maximum - the maximum of the 4 pixel values
closest - the value of the pixel closest to the mapped location
furthest - the value of the pixel furthest from the mapped location
 
	Remove output if it exists?
    
 
	Used to specify whether or not to clobber existing file that
	has the same name as the specified output file (only DM
	dataset will be clobbered).
         
 
	The tool chatter level
    
 
	Verbose can be from 0 to 5, generating different amounts
        of debugging output.
