CREATE/WAVE image [amplitude] [period] [dimension]
	generate 2-dimensional sinusoidal background image
\us\pu
Purpose:   
           Generate 2-dimensional sinusoidal background image, with mean
           flux per period of 0 units.

Syntax:    
           CREATE/WAVE image [amplitude] [period] [dimension]
\ys\pa
           image     =  the output image name,
\ap\pa
           amplitude =  wave amplitude (half peak-to-peak; default = 10.0),
\ap\pa
           period    =  period of wave (default = 8.5),
\ap\pa
           dimension =  integer dimensions of axes of image (default = 128).
