-\subsubsection{Image I/O Functions}

-\tbd{this section is being deprecated and the equivalent of these
-functions are being moved to FITS I/O Functions.  I will leave this
-section here until others may read the section on FITS I/O.}

-\begin{verbatim}
-psImage *psImageReadSection(psImage *output, int x0, int y0, int x1, int y1, int z, 
-                            const char *extname, int extnum, const char *filename);
-\end{verbatim}
-Read an image or subimage from a named file.  This function is a
-wrapper to the FITS library function.  The input parameters allow a
-full image or a subimage to be read.  The starting pixel of the region
-is specified by \code{x0,y0}, while the upper right-hand corner of the
-requested region is specified by \code{x1,y1}.  A negative value for
-either of \code{x1} or \code{y1} specifies the size of the region to
-be read counting down from the end of the array.
-
-If the native image is a cube, the value of z specifies the requested
-slice of the image.  The data is read from the extension specified by
-extname (matching the EXTNAME keyword) or by the extnum value (with 0
-representing the primary header unit (PHU), 1 the first extension,
-etc).  This function must call \code{psError} and return \code{NULL}
-if any of the specified parameters are out of range for the data in
-the image file, if the specified image file does not exist, or the
-image on disk is zero- or one-dimensional.  This function need only
-read images of the native FITS image types (\code{psU8}, \code{psS16},
-\code{psS32}, \code{psF32}, \code{psF64}).  The user is expected to
-convert the data type as needed with \code{psImageCopy}.

-\begin{verbatim}
-bool psImageWriteSection(const psImage *input, int x, int y, int z, 
-                         const char *extname, int extnum, const char *filename);
-\end{verbatim}
-Write an image section to the named file, which may exist.  This
-operation may write a portion of an image over the existing bytes of
-an existing image.  If the file does not exist, it should be created.
-If the specified extension does not exist, it should be created.  If
-an extension is specified and no PHU exists, a basic PHU should be
-created.  Care must be taken to interpret x,y,z in the two cases a)
-there is already an existing image and b) there is not an existing
-image.  If the image exists, write the complete psImage data to the
-existing image starting at the coordinate x,y,z.  If any of these
-parameters implies writing pixels outside the existing data area of
-the image, return an error (ie, if \code{x + image.nx >= NAXIS1},
-\code{y + image.ny >= NAXIS2}, or \code{z >= NAXIS3}).  If the image
-does not exist, require x,y,z to be zero.  This function will only
-write images of the native FITS image types (\code{psU8},
-\code{psS16}, \code{psS32}, \code{psF32}, \code{psF64}).  The user is
-expected to convert the data type as needed with \code{psImageCopy}.
-The return value must be 0 for a successful operation and 1 for an
-error.

 The functions may accept either \code{psTimeType}.  The \code{time} is
