SkyPlot

class lsst.analysis.tools.actions.plot.SkyPlot(*args, **kw)

Bases: PlotAction

Plots the on sky distribution of a parameter.

Plots the values of the parameter given for the z axis according to the positions given for x and y. Optimised for use with RA and Dec. Also calculates some basic statistics and includes those on the plot.

The plotting of patch outlines requires patch information to be included as an additional parameter.

Iterator of tuples for each configuration. Tuple items are:

  1. Field name.

  2. Field value.

keys()

Returns:
namesKeysView

List of lsst.pex.config.Field names.

load(filename, root='config')

Modify this config in place by executing the Python code in a configuration file.

Parameters:
filenamestr

Name of the configuration file. A configuration file is Python module.

rootstr, optional

Name of the variable in file that refers to the config being overridden.

For example, the value of root is "config" and the file contains:

config.myField = 5

Then this config’s field myField is set to 5.

loadFromStream(stream, root='config', filename=None, extraLocals=None)

Modify this Config in place by executing the Python code in the provided stream.

Parameters:
streamfile-like object, str, bytes, or CodeType

Stream containing configuration override code. If this is a code object, it should be compiled with mode="exec".

rootstr, optional

Name of the variable in file that refers to the config being overridden.

For example, the value of root is "config" and the file contains:

config.myField = 5

Then this config’s field myField is set to 5.

filenamestr, optional

Name of the configuration file, or None if unknown or contained in the stream. Used for error reporting.

extraLocalsdict of str to object, optional

Any extra variables to include in local scope when loading.

Notes

For backwards compatibility reasons, this method accepts strings, bytes and code objects as well as file-like objects. New code should use loadFromString instead for most of these types.

loadFromString(code, root='config', filename=None, extraLocals=None)

Modify this Config in place by executing the Python code in the provided string.

Parameters:
codestr, bytes, or CodeType

Stream containing configuration override code.

rootstr, optional

Name of the variable in file that refers to the config being overridden.

For example, the value of root is "config" and the file contains:

config.myField = 5

Then this config’s field myField is set to 5.

filenamestr, optional

Name of the configuration file, or None if unknown or contained in the stream. Used for error reporting.

extraLocalsdict of str to object, optional

Any extra variables to include in local scope when loading.

Raises:
ValueError

Raised if a key in extraLocals is the same value as the value of the root argument.

makePlot(data: MutableMapping[str, ndarray[Any, dtype[ScalarType]] | Scalar | HealSparseMap], plotInfo: Mapping[str, str] | None = None, sumStats: Mapping | None = None, **kwargs) Figure

Make a skyPlot of the given data.

Parameters:
dataKeyedData

The catalog to plot the points from.

plotInfodict

A dictionary of information about the data being plotted with keys:

"run"

The output run for the plots (str).

"skymap"

The type of skymap used for the data (str).

"filter"

The filter used for this data (str).

"tract"

The tract that the data comes from (str).

sumStatsdict

A dictionary where the patchIds are the keys which store the R.A. and dec of the corners of the patch.

Returns:
pipeBase.Struct containing:
skyPlotmatplotlib.figure.Figure

The resulting figure.

Notes

Expects the data to contain slightly different things depending on the types specified in plotTypes. This is handled automatically if you go through the pipetask framework but if you call this method separately then you need to make sure that data contains what the code is expecting.

If stars is in the plot types given then it is expected that data contains: xStars, yStars, zStars and starStatMask.

If galaxies is present: xGalaxies, yGalaxies, zGalaxies and galaxyStatsMask.

If unknown is present: xUnknowns, yUnknowns, zUnknowns and unknownStatMask.

If any is specified: x, y, z, statMask.

These options are not exclusive and multiple can be specified and thus need to be present in data.

Examples

An example of the plot produced from this code is here:

../_images/skyPlotExample.png

For a detailed example of how to make a plot from the command line please see the getting started guide.

names()

Get all the field names in the config, recursively.

Returns:
nameslist of str

Field names.

save(filename, root='config')

Save a Python script to the named file, which, when loaded, reproduces this config.

Parameters:
filenamestr

Desination filename of this configuration.

rootstr, optional

Name to use for the root config variable. The same value must be used when loading (see lsst.pex.config.Config.load).

saveToStream(outfile, root='config', skipImports=False)

Save a configuration file to a stream, which, when loaded, reproduces this config.

Parameters:
outfilefile-like object

Destination file object write the config into. Accepts strings not bytes.

rootstr, optional

Name to use for the root config variable. The same value must be used when loading (see lsst.pex.config.Config.load).

skipImportsbool, optional

If True then do not include import statements in output, this is to support human-oriented output from pipetask where additional clutter is not useful.

saveToString(skipImports=False)

Return the Python script form of this configuration as an executable string.

Parameters:
skipImportsbool, optional

If True then do not include import statements in output, this is to support human-oriented output from pipetask where additional clutter is not useful.

Returns:
codestr

A code string readable by loadFromString.

setDefaults()

Subclass hook for computing defaults.

Notes

Derived Config classes that must compute defaults rather than using the Field instances’s defaults should do so here. To correctly use inherited defaults, implementations of setDefaults must call their base class’s setDefaults.

statsAndText(arr, mask=None)

Calculate some stats from an array and return them and some text.

toDict()

Make a dictionary of field names and their values.

Returns:
dict_dict

Dictionary with keys that are Field names. Values are Field values.

Notes

This method uses the toDict method of individual fields. Subclasses of Field may need to implement a toDict method for this method to work.

update(**kw)

Update values of fields specified by the keyword arguments.

Parameters:
**kw

Keywords are configuration field names. Values are configuration field values.

Notes

The __at and __label keyword arguments are special internal keywords. They are used to strip out any internal steps from the history tracebacks of the config. Do not modify these keywords to subvert a Config instance’s history.

Examples

This is a config with three fields:

>>> from lsst.pex.config import Config, Field
>>> class DemoConfig(Config):
...     fieldA = Field(doc='Field A', dtype=int, default=42)
...     fieldB = Field(doc='Field B', dtype=bool, default=True)
...     fieldC = Field(doc='Field C', dtype=str, default='Hello world')
...
>>> config = DemoConfig()

These are the default values of each field:

>>> for name, value in config.iteritems():
...     print(f"{name}: {value}")
...
fieldA: 42
fieldB: True
fieldC: 'Hello world'

Using this method to update fieldA and fieldC:

>>> config.update(fieldA=13, fieldC='Updated!')

Now the values of each field are:

>>> for name, value in config.iteritems():
...     print(f"{name}: {value}")
...
fieldA: 13
fieldB: True
fieldC: 'Updated!'
validate()

Validate the Config, raising an exception if invalid.

Raises:
lsst.pex.config.FieldValidationError

Raised if verification fails.

Notes

The base class implementation performs type checks on all fields by calling their validate methods.

Complex single-field validation can be defined by deriving new Field types. For convenience, some derived lsst.pex.config.Field-types (ConfigField and ConfigChoiceField) are defined in lsst.pex.config that handle recursing into subconfigs.

Inter-field relationships should only be checked in derived Config classes after calling this method, and base validation is complete.

values()

Get field values.

Returns:
valuesValuesView

Iterator of field values.
