"""
Finds the nearest 3-dimensional matches of a coordinate or coordinates in
a set of catalog coordinates.
This finds the 3-dimensional closest neighbor, which is only different
from the on-sky distance if ``distance`` is set in either ``matchcoord``
or ``catalogcoord``.
Parameters
----------
matchcoord : `~astropy.coordinates.BaseCoordinateFrame` or `~astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord`
The coordinate(s) to match to the catalog.
catalogcoord : `~astropy.coordinates.BaseCoordinateFrame` or `~astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord`
The base catalog in which to search for matches. Typically this will
be a coordinate object that is an array (i.e.,
``catalogcoord.isscalar == False``)
nthneighbor : int, optional
Which closest neighbor to search for. Typically ``1`` is desired here,
as that is correct for matching one set of coordinates to another.
The next likely use case is ``2``, for matching a coordinate catalog
against *itself* (``1`` is inappropriate because each point will find
itself as the closest match).
storekdtree : bool or str, optional
If a string, will store the KD-Tree used for the computation
in the ``catalogcoord``, as in ``catalogcoord.cache`` with the
provided name. This dramatically speeds up subsequent calls with the
same catalog. If False, the KD-Tree is discarded after use.
Returns
-------
idx : integer array
Indices into ``catalogcoord`` to get the matched points for each
``matchcoord``. Shape matches ``matchcoord``.
sep2d : `~astropy.coordinates.Angle`
The on-sky separation between the closest match for each ``matchcoord``
and the ``matchcoord``. Shape matches ``matchcoord``.
dist3d : `~astropy.units.Quantity`
The 3D distance between the closest match for each ``matchcoord`` and
the ``matchcoord``. Shape matches ``matchcoord``.

This function requires `SciPy <https://www.scipy.org/>`_ to be installed

"""
Searches for pairs of points that are at least as close as a specified
distance in 3D space.
This is intended for use on coordinate objects with arrays of coordinates,

``separation_3d`` methods.
Parameters
----------
coords1 : `~astropy.coordinates.BaseCoordinateFrame` or `~astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord`
The first set of coordinates, which will be searched for matches from
``coords2`` within ``seplimit``. Cannot be a scalar coordinate.
coords2 : `~astropy.coordinates.BaseCoordinateFrame` or `~astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord`
The second set of coordinates, which will be searched for matches from
``coords1`` within ``seplimit``. Cannot be a scalar coordinate.
distlimit : `~astropy.units.Quantity` with distance units
The physical radius to search within.
storekdtree : bool or str, optional
If a string, will store the KD-Tree used in the search with the name
``storekdtree`` in ``coords2.cache``. This speeds up subsequent calls
to this function. If False, the KD-Trees are not saved.
Returns
-------
idx1 : integer array
Indices into ``coords1`` that matches to the corresponding element of
``idx2``. Shape matches ``idx2``.
idx2 : integer array
Indices into ``coords2`` that matches to the corresponding element of
``idx1``. Shape matches ``idx1``.
sep2d : `~astropy.coordinates.Angle`
The on-sky separation between the coordinates. Shape matches ``idx1``
and ``idx2``.
dist3d : `~astropy.units.Quantity`
The 3D distance between the coordinates. Shape matches ``idx1`` and
``idx2``. The unit is that of ``coords1``.
Notes
-----
This function requires `SciPy <https://www.scipy.org/>`_ (>=0.12.0)

If you are using this function to search in a catalog for matches around
specific points, the convention is for ``coords2`` to be the catalog, and
``coords1`` are the points to search around. While these operations are
mathematically the same if ``coords1`` and ``coords2`` are flipped, some of
the optimizations may work better if this convention is obeyed.
In the current implementation, the return values are always sorted in the
same order as the ``coords1`` (so ``idx1`` is in ascending order). This is
considered an implementation detail, though, so it could change in a future
release.
