Plotting tracks in the UV plane

This command UV_TRACK is quite specific to Plateau de Bure, though it might in principle be used for other interferometers.

Give the names of the stations (e.g. N05 W12 E24) occupied by the antennas for a given configuration as arguments; the option /FRAME must be given for the first configuration. Also give the option /TABLE name to open a table of UV data, if you want to compute later a synthesised beam using GILDAS task UV_MAP. A plot of UV tracks is made in a square box, labelled in meters. A sketch of the interferometer with the stations used is also drawn.
