        GRID /IMAGE [BEAM beam] [LAM nx rx vx ix] [BETA ny ry vy  iy]  [LIKE
    tempfile]

        Grid the tabulated data in a data cube (or a 2-d image if  only  one
    channel is processed, or a mathematical expression). The cube coordinate
    axes are normally defaulted from the position of the  spectra,  assuming
    that  the  angular  resolution  was  'beam'  (in  current angle units; a
    recommended default is taken for  30m  telescope  data);  otherwise  the
    LAMBDA  and/or  BETA  axes  may be forced by giving the number of pixels
    (nx,ny), the reference  pixel  (rx,ry),  the  coordinate  value  at  the
    reference  pixel  (vx,vy)  ,  and  the pixel size (ix,iy, all in current
    angle units). Finally both coordinate axes may be taken from a  template
    image (LIKE tempfile).

    In the APPEND mode, none of the /IMAGE arguments should  be  given,  the
    current  image  (from  the previous GRID/IMAGE command) is incrementally
    recomputed, adding the new data.  This  is  intended  for  a  real  time
    display while observing.
