EmptyFrame

class gwcs.coordinate_frames.EmptyFrame(name=None)

Bases: CoordinateFrame

Represents a “default” detector frame. This is for use as the default value for input frame by the WCS object.

Attributes Summary

axes_names	Names of axes in the frame.
axes_order	A tuple of indices which map inputs to axes.
axes_type	Type of this frame : 'SPATIAL', 'SPECTRAL', 'TIME'.
axis_physical_types	The axis physical types for this frame.
name	A custom name of this frame.
naxes	The number of axes in this frame.
reference_frame	Reference frame, used to convert to world coordinate objects.
serialized_classes	This property is used by the low level WCS API in Astropy.
unit	The unit of this frame.
world_axis_object_classes	The APE 14 object classes for this frame.
world_axis_object_components	The APE 14 object components for this frame.

Methods Summary

from_high_level_coordinates(*high_level_coords)	Convert high level coordinate objects to "values" as described by this frame.
to_high_level_coordinates(*values)	Convert "values" to high level coordinate objects described by this frame.

This property is used by the low level WCS API in Astropy.

By providing it we can duck type as a low level WCS object.

Methods Documentation

from_high_level_coordinates(*high_level_coords)

Convert high level coordinate objects to “values” as described by this frame.

“values” are the coordinates in array or scalar form, and high level objects are things such as SkyCoord or Quantity. See Shared Python Interface for World Coordinate Systems for details.

Parameters:

high_level_coordinates

One (or more) high level object describing the coordinate.

Returns:

valuesnumbers.Number or numpy.ndarray

naxis number of coordinates as scalars or arrays.

to_high_level_coordinates(*values)

Convert “values” to high level coordinate objects described by this frame.

“values” are the coordinates in array or scalar form, and high level objects are things such as SkyCoord or Quantity. See Shared Python Interface for World Coordinate Systems for details.

Parameters:

valuesnumbers.Number, numpy.ndarray, or Quantity

naxis number of coordinates as scalars or arrays.

Returns:

high_level_coordinates

One (or more) high level object describing the coordinate.
