——— examples ———————————————————–

This task estimates the continuum emission by fitting polynomials to the real and imaginary parts of the spectral windows and channels selected by spw and exclude spw. This fit represents a model of the continuum in all channels. Fit orders less than 2 are strongly recommended.
