Purpose (one Line)

Compute flux passing through a slit assuming a gaussian image.

Description

Calling Sequence

inslit,width,height,fwhm,offset

Inputs

width - Width of slit.
height - Height of slit.
fwhm - Full-width at half-maximum of the gaussian image.
offset - Offset of the image from center of the slit.
Note: the units are arbitrary but they must be the same within
all of the input quantities. The object is also assumed to
be perfectly centered in the vertical direction.

Outputs

Returned is the fraction of the total gaussian included in the slit.
