Mosaic¶

class lsst.afw.display.Mosaic(gutter=3, background=0, mode='square')¶

Bases: object

A class to handle mosaics of one or more identically-sized images (or Mask or MaskedImage)

Notes

Note that this mosaic is a patchwork of the input images; if you want to make a mosaic of a set images of the sky, you probably want to use the coadd code

Examples

m = Mosaic()
m.setGutter(5)
m.setBackground(10)
m.setMode("square")                     # the default; other options are "x" or "y"

mosaic = m.makeMosaic(im1, im2, im3)    # build the mosaic
display = afwDisplay.getDisplay()
display.mtv(mosaic)                         # display it
m.drawLabels(["Label 1", "Label 2", "Label 3"], display) # label the panels

# alternative way to build a mosaic
images = [im1, im2, im3]
labels = ["Label 1", "Label 2", "Label 3"]

mosaic = m.makeMosaic(images)
display.mtv(mosaic)
m.drawLabels(labels, display)

# Yet another way to build a mosaic (no need to build the images/labels lists)
for i in range(len(images)):
    m.append(images[i], labels[i])
# You may optionally include a colour, e.g. afwDisplay.YELLOW, as a third argument

mosaic = m.makeMosaic()
display.mtv(mosaic)
m.drawLabels(display=display)

Or simply:

mosaic = m.makeMosaic(display=display)

You can return the (ix, iy)th (or nth) bounding box (in pixels) with getBBox()

Attributes Summary

nImage

Number of images

Methods Summary

`append`(image[, label, ctype])	Add an image to the list of images to be mosaiced
`drawLabels`([labels, display, frame])	Draw the list labels at the corners of each panel.
`getBBox`(ix[, iy])	Get the BBox for a panel
`makeMosaic`([images, display, mode, ...])	Return a mosaic of all the images provided.
`reset`()	Reset the list of images to be mosaiced
`setBackground`(background)	Set the value in the gutters
`setGutter`(gutter)	Set the number of pixels between panels in a mosaic
`setMode`(mode)	Set mosaicing mode.

Attributes Documentation

nImage¶: Number of images

Methods Documentation

append(image, label=None, ctype=None)¶

Add an image to the list of images to be mosaiced

Returns:

index: the index of this image (may be passed to getBBox())

Notes

Set may be cleared with Mosaic.reset()

drawLabels(labels=None, display='deferToFrame', frame=None)¶

Draw the list labels at the corners of each panel.

Notes

If labels is None, use the ones specified by Mosaic.append()

getBBox(ix, iy=None)¶

Get the BBox for a panel

Parameters:

ixint: If iy is not None, this is the x coordinate of the panel. If iy is None, this is the number of the panel.
iyint, optional: The y coordinate of the panel.

makeMosaic(images=None, display='deferToFrame', mode=None, background=None, title='')¶

Return a mosaic of all the images provided.

If none are specified, use the list accumulated with Mosaic.append().

If display is specified, display the mosaic

reset()¶: Reset the list of images to be mosaiced

setBackground(background)¶: Set the value in the gutters

setGutter(gutter)¶: Set the number of pixels between panels in a mosaic

setMode(mode)¶

Set mosaicing mode.

Parameters:

mode{“square”, “x”, “y”}

Valid options:

square: Make mosaic as square as possible
x: Make mosaic one image high
y: Make mosaic one image wide
