TextSkyRegion

class regions.TextSkyRegion(center, text, meta=None, visual=None)

Bases: PointSkyRegion

A text string in sky coordinates.

Parameters:

centerSkyCoord

The leftmost position of the text string before rotation.

textstr

The text string.

metaRegionMeta or dict, optional

A dictionary that stores the meta attributes of the region.

visualRegionVisual or dict, optional

A dictionary that stores the visual meta attributes of the region.

Attributes Summary

center	The leftmost position (before rotation) as a astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord.
meta	The meta attributes as a RegionMeta
visual	The visual attributes as a RegionVisual.

Methods Summary

to_pixel(wcs)	Return the equivalent region defined in pixel coordinates.
to_spherical_sky([wcs, ...])	Convert to an equivalent spherical SphericalSkyRegion instance.

Attributes Documentation

center

The leftmost position (before rotation) as a astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord.

meta

The meta attributes as a RegionMeta

visual

The visual attributes as a RegionVisual.

Methods Documentation

to_pixel(wcs)

Return the equivalent region defined in pixel coordinates.

Parameters:

wcsWCS

The world coordinate system transformation to use to convert between sky and pixel coordinates.

Returns:

pixel_regionPixelRegion

A pixel region.

to_spherical_sky(wcs=None, include_boundary_distortions=False, discretize_kwargs=None)

Convert to an equivalent spherical SphericalSkyRegion instance.

Parameters:

wcsWCS instance, optional

The world coordinate system transformation to use to convert between sky and pixel coordinates. Required if transforming with boundary distortions (if include_boundary_distortions is True). Ignored if boundary distortions not included.

include_boundary_distortionsbool, optional

If True, accounts for boundary boundary distortions in spherical to planar conversions, by discretizing the boundary and converting the boundary polygon. Default is False, which converts to an equivalent idealized shape.

discretize_kwargsdict, optional

Optional keyword arguments to pass to discretize_boundary() method if including boundary distortions.

Returns:

spherical_sky_regionSphericalSkyRegion

A spherical sky region, with an equivalent shape (if include_boundary_distortions is False), or a discretized polygon of the boundary (if include_boundary_distortions is True).
