<pre>
regrid an MS to a new spectral window / channel structure or frame
 
      vis -- Name of input visibility file
              default: none; example: vis='ngc5921.ms'
 
      outputvis -- Name of output measurement set (required)
              default: none; example: vis='ngc5921-regridded.ms'
 
      passall --  if False, data not meeting the selection is omitted/deleted
              or flagged (if in-row); if True, data not meeting the selection
              on field and spw is passed through without modification
              default: False; example:
              field='NGC5921'
              passall=False : only data from NGC5921 is included in output MS,
                        no data from other fields (e.g. 1331+305) is included
              passall=True : data from NGC5921 is transformed by cvel, all other
                        fields are passed through unchanged
 
      field -- Select fields in mosaic.  Use field id(s) or field name(s).
                  ['go listobs' to obtain the list id's or names]
              default: ''= all fields
              If field string is a non-negative integer, it is assumed to
                  be a field index otherwise, it is assumed to be a
                  field name
              field='0~2'; field ids 0,1,2
              field='0,4,5~7'; field ids 0,4,5,6,7

                spw='0:5~61'; spw 0, channels 5 to 61

              default: True
 
  >>> selectdata=True expandable parameters
 
              antenna -- Select data based on antenna/baseline
                  default: '' (all)
                  If antenna string is a non-negative integer, it is
                    assumed to be an antenna index, otherwise, it is
                    considered an antenna name.
                  antenna='5&6'; baseline between antenna index 5 and
                                index 6.
                  antenna='VA05&VA06'; baseline between VLA antenna 5
                                      and 6.

                                  index numbers
 
              timerange  -- Select data based on time range:

                  timerange = 'YYYY/MM/DD/hh:mm:ss~YYYY/MM/DD/hh:mm:ss'
                  Note: if YYYY/MM/DD is missing date defaults to first
                        day in data set
                  timerange='09:14:0~09:54:0' picks 40 min on first day
                  timerange= '25:00:00~27:30:00' picks 1 hr to 3 hr
                            30min on NEXT day
                  timerange='09:44:00' pick data within one integration
                            of time
                  timerange='>10:24:00' data after this time
 
              scan -- Scan number range.
                  default: '' (all)
                  example: scan='1~5'
                  Check 'go listobs' to insure the scan numbers are in
                        order.
 
              array -- Select data by (sub)array indices
                  default: '' (all); example:
                  array='0~2'; arrays 0 to 2
 
      mode -- Frequency Specification:
              NOTE: See examples below:
              default: 'channel'
                mode = 'channel'; Use with nchan, start, width to specify
                        output spw. Produces equidistant grid based on first
                        selected channel. See examples below.
                mode = 'velocity', means channels are specified in
                      velocity.
                mode = 'frequency', means channels are specified in
                      frequency.
                mode = 'channel_b', alternative 'channel' mode.
                        Does not force an equidistant grid. Faster.
 
  >>> mode expandable parameters
              Start, width are given in units of channels, frequency
                  or velocity as indicated by mode
              nchan -- Number of channels in output spw

                      0 and 1
              spw='0:5~28^2'; mode = 'channel'
                  will produce a single spw made with channels

              spw = '0'; mode = 'channel': nchan=3; start=5; width=4
                  will produce an spw with 3 output channels
                  new channel 1 contains data from channels (5+6+7+8)
                  new channel 2 contains data from channels (9+10+11+12)
                  new channel 3 contains data from channels (13+14+15+16)
              spw = '0:0~63^3'; mode='channel'; nchan=21; start = 0;

                  new channel 2 contains data from channels (9+10+11+12)
                  new channel 3 contains data from channels (13+14+15+16)
              spw = '0:0~63^3'; mode='channel'; nchan=21; start = 0;

                  will produce an spw with 21 channels
                  new channel 1 contains data from channel 0
                  new channel 2 contains data from channel 2
                  new channel 21 contains data from channel 61
              spw = '0:0~40^2'; mode = 'channel'; nchan = 3; start =
                  5; width = 4
                  will produce an spw with three output channels
                  new channel 1 contains channels (5,7)
                  new channel 2 contains channels (13,15)
                  new channel 3 contains channels (21,23)

              or phasecenter='J2000 19h30m00 -40d00m00'
 
      restfreq -- Specify rest frequency to use for output image
              default='' Occasionally it is necessary to set this (for
              example some VLA spectral line data).  For example for
              NH_3 (1,1) put restfreq='23.694496GHz'
 
      outframe -- output reference frame
              default='' (keep original reference frame) ; example: outframe='bary'
