TopologicalSpace

class lsst.daf.butler.TopologicalSpace(value)

Bases: Enum

Enumeration of continuous-variable relationships for dimensions.

Most dimension relationships are discrete, in that they are regular foreign key relationships between tables. Those connected to a TopologicalSpace are not - a row in a table instead occupies some region in a continuous-variable space, and topological operators like “overlaps” between regions in that space define the relationships between rows.

Attributes Summary
