StaticMatrixTransform
(matrix, fromsys, tosys, priority=1, register_graph=None)[source] [edit on github]¶ Bases:
astropy.coordinates.BaseAffineTransform
A coordinate transformation defined as a 3 x 3 cartesian transformation matrix.
This is distinct from DynamicMatrixTransform in that this kind of matrix is independent of frame attributes. That is, it depends only on the class of the frame.
Parameters: - matrix : array-like or callable
A 3 x 3 matrix for transforming 3-vectors. In most cases will be unitary (although this is not strictly required). If a callable, will be called with no arguments to get the matrix.
- fromsys : class
The coordinate frame class to start from.
- tosys : class
The coordinate frame class to transform into.
- priority : number
The priority if this transform when finding the shortest coordinate transform path - large numbers are lower priorities.
- register_graph :
TransformGraph
orNone
A graph to register this transformation with on creation, or
None
to leave it unregistered.
Raises: - ValueError
If the matrix is not 3 x 3

__call__
(fromcoord, toframe)[source] [edit on github]¶ Does the actual coordinate transformation from the
fromsys
class to thetosys
class.Parameters: - fromcoord : fromsys object
An object of class matching
fromsys
that is to be transformed.- toframe : object
An object that has the attributes necessary to fully specify the frame. That is, it must have attributes with names that match the keys of the dictionary that
tosys.get_frame_attr_names()
returns. Typically this is of classtosys
, but it might be some other class as long as it has the appropriate attributes.
Returns: - tocoord : tosys object
The new coordinate after the transform has been applied.
