"""
FITS image cube manipulation tool.

This tool was originally developed to create a FITS image cube from a
series of CT scan slices to help better visualize/examine them in the
sophisticated SAOImage DS9 software.  Each slice in the cube is a CT
image at a position from the CT scan, with the z-axis tracking the slice
positions (equal-distant) in units of, e.g., [cm].

Then this tool was significantly improved to deal with the spectral cube
in radio astronomy, with each slice representing the radio sky at a
certain frequency (channel), so the z-axis records the frequency in
units of [Hz].

For example, we simulate the observed image using OSKAR and WSClean one
frequency channel at a time, then use this tool to combine them into
a spectral cube, from which the 2D and 1D power spectra is derived.

The ``calibrate`` sub-command is used to calibrate the frequency channel
responses to make them spectrally smooth by fitting a low-order polynomial.

The ``corrupt`` sub-command is used to corrupt the frequency channel
responses to simulate that real instrument suffers from calibration
imperfections.
