If these formats are undefined and, in the +case of the world coordinates, a format attribute cannot be +read from either the reference or the input images, the coordinates are +output with the %g format and \fImin_sigdigits\fR of precision. + +If the reference and input images are 1D then the +output logical and world y coordinates are +set to 1. + +If \fIverbose\fR is "yes" then a title section is written to the output +file for each set of computed coordinates, along with messages about +what if anything went wrong with the computation. + +.ih +FORMATS + +A format specification has the form "%w.dCn", where w is the field +width, d is the number of decimal places or the number of digits of +precision, C is the format code, and n is radix character for +format code "r" only.
