GroupExposuresTask¶

class lsst.obs.base.GroupExposuresTask(config: GroupExposuresConfig, **kwargs: Any)¶

Bases: Task

Abstract base class for the subtask of DefineVisitsTask that is responsible for grouping exposures into visits.

Subclasses should be registered with GroupExposuresTask.registry to enable use by DefineVisitsTask, and should generally correspond to a particular ‘visit_system’ dimension value. They are also responsible for defining visit IDs and names that are unique across all visit systems in use by an instrument.

Parameters:

configGroupExposuresConfig: Configuration information.
**kwargs: Additional keyword arguments forwarded to the Task constructor.

Methods Summary

`emptyMetadata`()	Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.
`getFullMetadata`()	Get metadata for all tasks.
`getFullName`()	Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.
`getName`()	Get the name of the task.
`getTaskDict`()	Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.
`getVisitSystems`()	Return identifiers for the 'visit_system' dimension this algorithm implements.
`group`(exposures)	Group the given exposures into visits.
`makeField`(doc)	Make a `lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField` for this task.
`makeSubtask`(name, **keyArgs)	Create a subtask as a new instance as the `name` attribute of this task.
`timer`(name[, logLevel])	Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Methods Documentation

emptyMetadata() → None¶: Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.

getFullMetadata() → TaskMetadata¶

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:

metadataTaskMetadata: The keys are the full task name. Values are metadata for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

Notes

The returned metadata includes timing information (if @timer.timeMethod is used) and any metadata set by the task. The name of each item consists of the full task name with . replaced by :, followed by . and the name of the item, e.g.:

topLevelTaskName:subtaskName:subsubtaskName.itemName

using : in the full task name disambiguates the rare situation that a task has a subtask and a metadata item with the same name.

getFullName() → str¶

Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.

Returns:

fullNamestr

The full name consists of the name of the parent task and each subtask separated by periods. For example:

The full name of top-level task “top” is simply “top”.
The full name of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub”.
The full name of subtask “sub2” of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub.sub2”.

getName() → str¶

Get the name of the task.

Returns:

taskNamestr: Name of the task.

getFullName

getTaskDict() → Dict[str, ReferenceType[Task]]¶

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:

taskDictdict: Dictionary containing full task name: task object for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

getVisitSystems() → Set[VisitSystem]¶

Return identifiers for the ‘visit_system’ dimension this algorithm implements.

Returns:

visit_systemsSet [VisitSystem]: The visit systems used by this algorithm.

abstract group(exposures: List[DimensionRecord]) → Iterable[VisitDefinitionData]¶

Group the given exposures into visits.

Parameters:

exposureslist [ DimensionRecord ]: DimensionRecords (for the ‘exposure’ dimension) describing the exposures to group.

Returns:

visitsIterable [ VisitDefinitionData ]: Structs identifying the visits and the exposures associated with them. This may be an iterator or a container.

classmethod makeField(doc: str) → ConfigurableField¶

Make a lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField for this task.

Parameters:

docstr: Help text for the field.

Returns:

configurableFieldlsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField: A ConfigurableField for this task.

Examples

Provides a convenient way to specify this task is a subtask of another task.

Here is an example of use:

class OtherTaskConfig(lsst.pex.config.Config):
    aSubtask = ATaskClass.makeField("brief description of task")

makeSubtask(name: str, **keyArgs: Any) → None¶

Create a subtask as a new instance as the name attribute of this task.

Parameters:

namestr

Brief name of the subtask.

keyArgs

Extra keyword arguments used to construct the task. The following arguments are automatically provided and cannot be overridden:

“config”.
“parentTask”.

Notes

The subtask must be defined by Task.config.name, an instance of ConfigurableField or RegistryField.

timer(name: str, logLevel: int = 10) → Iterator[None]¶

Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Parameters:

namestr: Name of code being timed; data will be logged using item name: Start and End.
logLevel: A logging level constant.
