Methods Documentation

compare_metadata(other, keys_to_compare=['MODE', 'TYPE', 'CALIBDATE', 'INSTRUME', 'OBSTYPE', 'DETECTOR'])¶

Compare metadata in this object to another.

Parameters:	other : `Curve` The object with which to compare metadata. keys_to_compare : `list` List of metadata keys to compare.
Returns:	same : `bool` Are the metadata the same?

evaluate(detector, position, wavelength, kind='linear', bounds_error=False, fill_value=0)¶

Interpolate the curve at the specified position and wavelength.

Parameters:	detector : `lsst.afw.cameraGeom.Detector` Is used to find the appropriate curve given the position for curves that vary over the detector. Ignored in the case where there is only a single curve per detector. position : `lsst.geom.Point2D` The position on the detector at which to evaluate the curve. wavelength : `astropy.units.Quantity` The wavelength(s) at which to make the interpolation. kind : `str`, optional The type of interpolation to do (default is ‘linear’). See documentation for `scipy.interpolate.interp1d` for accepted values. bounds_error : `bool`, optional Raise error if interpolating outside the range of x? (default is False) fill_value : `float`, optional Fill values outside the range of x with this value (default is 0).
Returns:	value : `astropy.units.Quantity` Interpolated value(s). Number of values returned will match the length of `wavelength`.
Raises:	ValueError If the `bounds_error` is changed from the default, it will raise a `ValueError` if evaluating outside the bounds of the curve.

fromTable(table)¶

Class method for constructing a Curve object.

Parameters:	table : `astropy.table.QTable` Table containing metadata and columns necessary for constructing a `Curve` object.
Returns:	curve : `Curve` A `Curve` subclass of the appropriate type according to the table metadata

getMetadata()¶

Return metadata

Returns:	metadata : `dict` Dictionary of metadata for this curve.

interpolate(wavelengths, values, wavelength, kind, bounds_error, fill_value)¶

Interplate the curve at the specified wavelength(s).

Parameters:	wavelengths : `astropy.units.Quantity` The wavelength values for the curve. values : `astropy.units.Quantity` The y-values for the curve. wavelength : `astropy.units.Quantity` The wavelength(s) at which to make the interpolation. kind : `str` The type of interpolation to do. See documentation for `scipy.interpolate.interp1d` for accepted values.
Returns:	value : `astropy.units.Quantity` Interpolated value(s)

classmethod readFits(filename)¶

Class method for constructing a Curve object from the standardized FITS format.

Parameters:	filename : `str` Path to the FITS file to read.
Returns:	curve : `Curve` A `Curve` subclass of the appropriate type according to the table metadata

classmethod readText(filename)¶

Class method for constructing a Curve object from the standardized text format.

Parameters:	filename : `str` Path to the text file to read.
Returns:	curve : `Curve` A `Curve` subclass of the appropriate type according to the table metadata

toTable()¶

Convert this Curve object to an astropy.table.QTable.

Returns:	table : `astropy.table.QTable` A table object containing the data from this `Curve`.

writeFits(filename)¶

Write the Curve out to a FITS file.

Parameters:	filename : `str` Path to the FITS file to write.
Returns:	filename : `str` Because this method forces a particular extension return the name of the file actually written.

writeText(filename)¶

Write the Curve out to a text file.

Parameters:	filename : `str` Path to the text file to write.
Returns:	filename : `str` Because this method forces a particular extension return the name of the file actually written.
