Module Contents

resolve_bounds(bounds, nblock)[source]

Turns bounds object into a tuple of ymin,ymax,xmin,xmax restricted to nblock x nblock region.

Parameters:

  • bounds (list of int) – Length 4: [ymin,ymax,xmin,xmax]

  • nblock (int) – The mosaic size in blocks.

Returns:

  • ymin (int) – Bottom side of mosaic (inclusive).

  • ymax (int) – Top side of mosaic (exclusive).

  • xmin (int) – Left side of mosaic (inclusive).

  • xmax (int) – Right side of mosaic (exclusive).

get_config(fn1)[source]

Utility to get the configuration.

Parameters:

fn1 (str) – File name.

Returns:

The configuration used to generate fn1.

Return type:

pyimcom.config.Config

cmapscale(inarray, srange, cmap=None, stretch='asinh')[source]

Color mapping for making a display image.

Parameters:

  • inarray (np.array of float) – The array to be mapped. Shape (ny,nx).

  • srange ((float, float)) – The minimum and maximum values to be represented (values beyond this will saturate).

  • cmap (str or None, optional) – If string, uses that color scale; if None, makes a black and white image.

  • stretch (str, optional) – The stretch. Current options are ‘linear’ and ‘asinh’.

Returns:

Either a grayscale 2D array shape = (ny,nx) if cmap is None; or an RGB 3D array shape = (ny,nx,3) if cmap is not None.

Return type:

np.array of uint8

make_picture_1band(fn, outfile, layer=0, bounds=None, binning=1, cmap=None, srange=(-8.0, 600.0), stretch='asinh')[source]

Writes a mosaic image from a set of IMCOM output files.

Parameters:

  • fn (str) – File stem (without the _DD_DD.fits).

  • outfile (str) – Output file name.

  • layer (int, optional) – Which image layer to use (default is the Science layer).

  • bounds (list or None, optional) – Boundary of the output image. If a list, should be [ymin,ymax,xmin,xmax], to indicate the range xmin<=x<xmax, ymin<=y<ymax. If None (default), draws the whole mosaic.

  • binning (int, optional) – Binning relative to the FITS images. Larger binning reduces size of output image. The default is 1, corresponding to native resolution.

  • cmap (str or None, optional) – Color map (uses matplotlib names; None -> black & white).

  • srange ((float, float), optional) – Minimum and maximum of the color scale.

  • stretch (str, optional) – Stretch type (currently: ‘asinh’ or ‘linear’)

Return type:

None
