gwcs.coordinate_frames.BaseCoordinateFrame¶

class gwcs.coordinate_frames.BaseCoordinateFrame(*args, **kwargs)¶

Legacy base class for coordinate frames.

Attributes¶

`axes_names`	Names describing the axes of the frame.
`axes_order`	The position of the axes in the frame in the transform.
`axes_type`	An upcase string (or tuple of strings) describing the type of the axis.
`axis_physical_types`	The UCD 1+ physical types for the axes, in frame order.
`name`	The name of the coordinate frame.
`naxes`	The number of axes described by this frame.
`reference_frame`	The reference frame of the coordinates described by this frame.
`unit`	The units of the axes in 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.

abstract property BaseCoordinateFrame.axes_names: tuple[str, ...]¶: Names describing the axes of the frame.

abstract property BaseCoordinateFrame.axes_order: tuple[int, ...]¶: The position of the axes in the frame in the transform.

abstract property BaseCoordinateFrame.axes_type: AxesType¶

An upcase string (or tuple of strings) describing the type of the axis.

See AxisType for the known values, but you can also use your own custom one.

abstract property BaseCoordinateFrame.axis_physical_types: tuple[str | None, ...]¶: The UCD 1+ physical types for the axes, in frame order.

abstract property BaseCoordinateFrame.name: str¶: The name of the coordinate frame.

abstract property BaseCoordinateFrame.naxes: int¶: The number of axes described by this frame.

abstract property BaseCoordinateFrame.reference_frame: AstropyBuiltInFrame | None¶

The reference frame of the coordinates described by this frame.

This is usually an Astropy object such as SkyCoord or Time.

abstract property BaseCoordinateFrame.unit: tuple[Unit | None, ...]¶: The units of the axes in this frame.

abstract property BaseCoordinateFrame.world_axis_object_classes: WorldAxisObjectClasses¶: The APE 14 object classes for this frame.

`add_units`(arrays)	Add units to the arrays
`from_high_level_coordinates`(*high_level_coords)	Convert high level coordinate objects to "values" as described by this frame.
`is_high_level`(*args)	Return `True` if the input coordinates are already high level objects described by this frame.
`remove_units`(arrays)	Remove units from the input arrays
`to_high_level_coordinates`(*values[, correct_1d])	Convert "values" to high level coordinate objects described by this frame.

BaseCoordinateFrame.add_units(arrays)¶

Add units to the arrays

BaseCoordinateFrame.from_high_level_coordinates(*high_level_coords, correct_1d=True)¶

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:: values – naxis number of coordinates as scalars or arrays.
Return type:: numbers.Number or numpy.ndarray

BaseCoordinateFrame.is_high_level(*args)¶

Return True if the input coordinates are already high level objects described by this frame.

This is used by the low level WCS API in Astropy to determine whether to call to_high_level_coordinates or not.

BaseCoordinateFrame.remove_units(arrays)¶

Remove units from the input arrays

BaseCoordinateFrame.to_high_level_coordinates(*values, correct_1d=True)¶

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:: values (numbers.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.
Return type:: object
