DiscreteSkyMap¶

class lsst.skymap.DiscreteSkyMap(config, version=0)¶

Discrete sky map pixelization.

We put a square Tract at each of the nominated coordinates.

Parameters:	config : `lsst.skyMap.BaseSkyMapConfig` The configuration for this SkyMap; if None use the default config. version : `int` or `tuple` of `int` (optional) Software version of this class, to retain compatibility with old instances.

Methods Summary

`findClosestTractPatchList`(coordList)	Find closest tract and patches that overlap coordinates.
`findTract`(coord)	Find the tract whose center is nearest the specified coord.
`findTractPatchList`(coordList)	Find tracts and patches that overlap a region.
`generateTract`(index)	Generate TractInfo for the specified tract index.
`getSha1`()	Return a SHA1 hash that uniquely identifies this SkyMap instance.
`register`(name, registry)	Add SkyMap, Tract, and Patch Dimension entries to the given Gen3 Butler Registry.
`updateSha1`(sha1)	Add subclass-specific state or configuration options to the SHA1.

Methods Documentation

findClosestTractPatchList(coordList)¶

Find closest tract and patches that overlap coordinates.

Parameters:	coordList : `lsst.geom.SpherePoint` List of ICRS sky coordinates to search for.
Returns:	retList : `list` list of (TractInfo, list of PatchInfo) for tracts and patches that contain, or may contain, the specified region. The list will be empty if there is no overlap.

findTract(coord)¶

Find the tract whose center is nearest the specified coord.

Parameters:	coord : `lsst.geom.SpherePoint` ICRS sky coordinate to search for.
Returns:	result : `TractInfo` TractInfo of tract whose center is nearest the specified coord.

Notes

If coord is equidistant between multiple sky tract centers then one is arbitrarily chosen.
The default implementation is not very efficient; subclasses may wish to override.

Warning: If tracts do not cover the whole sky then the returned tract may not include the coord.

findTractPatchList(coordList)¶

Find tracts and patches that overlap a region.

Parameters:	coordList : `list` of `lsst.geom.SpherePoint` List of ICRS sky coordinates to search for.
Returns:	reList : `list` of (`TractInfo`, `list` of `PatchInfo`) For tracts and patches that contain, or may contain, the specified region. The list will be empty if there is no overlap.

Notes

warning:: This uses a naive algorithm that may find some tracts and patches that do not overlap the region (especially if the region is not a rectangle aligned along patch x, y).

generateTract(index)¶: Generate TractInfo for the specified tract index.

getSha1()¶

Return a SHA1 hash that uniquely identifies this SkyMap instance.

Returns:	sha1 : `bytes` A 20-byte hash that uniquely identifies this SkyMap instance.

Notes

Subclasses should almost always override updateSha1 instead of this function to add subclass-specific state to the hash.

register(name, registry)¶

Add SkyMap, Tract, and Patch Dimension entries to the given Gen3 Butler Registry.

Parameters:	name : `str` The name of the skymap. registry : `lsst.daf.butler.Registry` The registry to add to.

updateSha1(sha1)¶: Add subclass-specific state or configuration options to the SHA1.
