Converting Healpix file to traditional fits format

Lyuokdea

Not that this is really an astronomy question per se, but astronomers are most likely to know the answer.

I have a file containing a sky survey that is in healpix format, and I need to extract the data at certain longitudes and latitudes and at certain frequencies...

In a traditional fits format i could just read the corresponding rows and columns in the file, but I'm lost as of what to do with a healpix file.

If anybody with healpix experience could help, i'd appreciate it.

Hello,
I'm sorry I do not have the solution to your problem. But I have a similar problem. I wanted to know how to convert a FITS file to a Healpix file
