Warning

XRTSUB assumes that neither the source box nor the background box overlap any of the struts or the central circle. If this isn't true, e.g. if your background file is a spectrum which has been taken in an annulus around the whole image at a large radius, then the program will overestimate the area of the background box. This problem may be alleviated by using a spectral image as the background file (see the advice section on extended objects).
