 GENSPEC N1 N2 N3 N4 NG NP PARAMS[NP] AXES[NP] MASK -- genspec interpolates
                spectra in a grid according to values of header items.

 Parameters:

   N1, N2    -- Spectra to set

   N3, N4    -- Model spectra

   NG        -- Number of spectra in each group. The spectra should be 
                thought of in groups of NG spectra. e.g. if you had 
                observations of Halpha and Hbeta with separate spectra
                you would set NG = 2. You would require models for each
                of course. All spectra of the same parameter should be
                in one block. 

   NP        -- The number of parameters . The model spectra should on a 
                Cartesian grid (i.e. equal steps in each parameter).
                e.g you might have a grid of log g and temperature with
                the spectra stored to change first in log g and then Temp.
                This would have NP=2

   PARAMS    -- Names of the parameters, which should correspond to the 
                storage order, so that in the example above they would be
                "log g" and "Temperature".  These should be REAL variables
                with values stored in the headers. ALL spectra (i.e. objects
                and models) should have these variables set.

   AXES      -- The number of points on each parameter axis. e.g. if you
                stored 10 gravities at 5 temperature points, you would
                enter 10, 5

   MASK      -- Yes to retain whatever mask has been applied to the data
                when computing the output interpolated spectra. If not models
                are interpolated onto all available pixels.


This command belongs to the classes: fitting and manipulation .
