CoordinateHelper
(parent_axes=None, parent_map=None, transform=None, coord_index=None, coord_type='scalar', coord_unit=None, coord_wrap=None, frame=None, format_unit=None)[source] [edit on github]¶ Bases:
object
Helper class to control one of the coordinates in the
WCSAxes
.Parameters: - parent_axes :
WCSAxes
The axes the coordinate helper belongs to.
- parent_map :
CoordinatesMap
The
CoordinatesMap
object this coordinate belongs to.- transform :
Transform
The transform corresponding to this coordinate system.
- coord_index : int

CoordinatesMap
.- coord_type : {‘longitude’, ‘latitude’, ‘scalar’}

The unit that this coordinate is in given the output of transform.
- format_unit :
Unit

- coord_wrap : float
The angle at which the longitude wraps (defaults to 360)

display_minor_ticks
(display_minor_ticks)[source] [edit on github]¶ Display minor ticks for this coordinate.
Parameters: - display_minor_ticks : bool
Whether or not to display minor ticks.
-
format_coord
(value, format='auto')[source] [edit on github]¶ Given the value of a coordinate, will format it according to the format of the formatter_locator.
Parameters: - value : float
The value to format
- format : {‘auto’, ‘ascii’, ‘latex’}, optional
The format to use - by default the formatting will be adjusted depending on whether Matplotlib is using LaTeX or MathTex. To get plain ASCII strings, use format=’ascii’.
-
get_axislabel
()[source] [edit on github]¶ Get the text for the axis label
Returns: - label : str
The axis label
-
get_axislabel_visibility_rule
(rule)[source] [edit on github]¶ Get the rule used to determine when the axis label is drawn.
-
get_minor_frequency
()[source] [edit on github]¶
-
grid
(draw_grid=True, grid_type=None, **kwargs)[source] [edit on github]¶ Plot grid lines for this coordinate.
Standard matplotlib appearance options (color, alpha, etc.) can be passed as keyword arguments.
Parameters: - draw_grid : bool
Whether to show the gridlines
- grid_type : {‘lines’, ‘contours’}
Whether to plot the contours by determining the grid lines in world coordinates and then plotting them in world coordinates (
'lines'
) or by determining the world coordinates at many positions in the image and then drawing contours ('contours'
). The first is recommended for 2-d images, while for 3-d (or higher dimensional) cubes, the'contours'
option is recommended. By default, ‘lines’ is used if the transform has an inverse, otherwise ‘contours’ is used.
-
set_axislabel
(text, minpad=1, **kwargs)[source] [edit on github]¶ Set the text and optionally visual properties for the axis label.
Parameters: - text : str
The axis label text.
- minpad : float, optional
The padding for the label in terms of axis label font size.
- kwargs
Keywords are passed to
matplotlib.text.Text
. These can include keywords to set thecolor
,size
,weight
, and other text properties.
-
set_axislabel_position
(position)[source] [edit on github]¶ Set where axis labels should appear
Parameters: - position : str
The axes on which the axis label for this coordinate should appear. Should be a string containing zero or more of
'b'
,'t'
,'l'
,'r'
. For example,'lb'
will lead the axis label to be shown on the left and bottom axis.
-
set_axislabel_visibility_rule
(rule)[source] [edit on github]¶ Set the rule used to determine when the axis label is drawn.
Parameters: - rule : str
If the rule is ‘always’ axis labels will always be drawn on the axis. If the rule is ‘ticks’ the label will only be drawn if ticks were drawn on that axis. If the rule is ‘labels’ the axis label will only be drawn if tick labels were drawn on that axis.
-
set_coord_type
(coord_type, coord_wrap=None)[source] [edit on github]¶ Set the coordinate type for the axis.
Parameters: - coord_type : str
One of ‘longitude’, ‘latitude’ or ‘scalar’

The value to wrap at for angular coordinates
-

Parameters: - unit : class:

The unit to which the tick labels should be converted to.
- decimal : bool, optional
Whether to use decimal formatting. By default this is
False
for degrees or hours (which therefore use sexagesimal formatting) andTrue
for all other units.- show_decimal_unit : bool, optional
Whether to include units when in decimal mode.
