SkyPixDimension¶

class lsst.daf.butler.SkyPixDimension(system: SkyPixSystem, level: int)¶

Bases: Dimension

Special dimension for sky pixelizations.

A special Dimension subclass for hierarchical pixelizations of the sky at a particular level.

Unlike most other dimensions, skypix dimension records are not stored in the database, as these records only contain an integer pixel ID and a region on the sky, and each of these can be computed directly from the other.

Parameters:

systemSkyPixSystem: Pixelization system this dimension belongs to.
levelint: Integer level of this pixelization (smaller numbers are coarser grids).

Attributes Documentation

RecordClass¶

Return the record subclass for this element.

The DimensionRecord subclass used to hold records for this element (type).

Because DimensionRecord subclasses are generated dynamically, this type cannot be imported directly and hence can only be obtained from this attribute.

alternateKeys¶

Return alternate keys.

Additional unique key fields for this dimension that are not the primary key (NamedValueAbstractSet of FieldSpec).

If this dimension has required dependencies, the keys of those dimensions are also included in the unique constraints defined for these alternate keys.

alwaysJoin¶

Indicate if the element should always be included.

If True, always include this element in any query or data ID in which its required dimensions appear, because it defines a relationship between those dimensions that must always be satisfied.

dimensions¶

Return all dimensions.

The union of required and implied, with all elements in required before any elements in implied.

This differs from self.graph.dimensions both in order and in content:

as in self.implied, implied dimensions are not expanded recursively here;
implied dimensions appear after required dimensions here, instead of being topologically ordered.

As a result, this set is ordered consistently with self.RecordClass.fields.

governor¶

Return the governor dimension.

This is the GovernorDimension that is a required dependency of this element, or None if there is no such dimension (GovernorDimension or None).

graph¶

Return minimal graph that includes this element (DimensionGraph).

self.graph.required includes all dimensions whose primary key values are sufficient (often necessary) to uniquely identify self (including self if isinstance(self, Dimension). self.graph.implied includes all dimensions also identified (possibly recursively) by this set.

implied¶

metadata¶

name¶

populated_by¶

primaryKey¶

Return primary key field for this dimension (FieldSpec).

Note that the database primary keys for dimension tables are in general compound; this field is the only field in the database primary key that is not also a foreign key (to a required dependency dimension table).

required¶

spatial¶: Return this endpoint’s SPATIAL family.

temporal¶: Return this endpoint’s TEMPORAL family.

topology¶

uniqueKeys¶

viewOf¶

Name of another table this element’s records are drawn from.

(str or None).

Methods Documentation

classmethod from_json(json_str: str, universe: DimensionUniverse | None = None, registry: Registry | None = None) → SupportsSimple¶

Return new class from JSON string.

Converts a JSON string created by to_json and return something of the supplied class.

Parameters:

json_strstr: Representation of the dimensions in JSON format as created by to_json().
universeDimensionUniverse, optional: The special graph of all known dimensions. Passed directly to from_simple().
registrylsst.daf.butler.Registry, optional: Registry to use to convert simple name of a DatasetType to a full DatasetType. Passed directly to from_simple().

Returns:

constructedAny: Newly-constructed object.

classmethod from_simple(simple: str, universe: DimensionUniverse | None = None, registry: Registry | None = None) → DimensionElement¶

Construct a new object from the simplified form.

Usually the data is returned from the to_simple method.

Parameters:

simplestr: The value returned by to_simple().
universeDimensionUniverse: The special graph of all known dimensions.
registrylsst.daf.butler.Registry, optional: Registry from which a universe can be extracted. Can be None if universe is provided explicitly.

Returns:

dataIdDimensionElement: Newly-constructed object.

hasTable() → bool¶

Indicate if this element is associated with a table.

Return True if this element is associated with a table (even if that table “belongs” to another element).

makeStorage() → SkyPixDimensionRecordStorage¶

Make the storage record.

Constructs the DimensionRecordStorage instance that should be used to back this element in a registry.

Returns:

storageSkyPixDimensionRecordStorage: Storage object that should back this element in a registry.

to_json(minimal: bool = False) → str¶

Convert this class to JSON form.

The class type is not recorded in the JSON so the JSON decoder must know which class is represented.

Parameters:

minimalbool, optional: Use minimal serialization. Requires Registry to convert back to a full type.

Returns:

jsonstr: The class in JSON string format.

to_simple(minimal: bool = False) → str¶

Convert this class to a simple python type.

This is suitable for serialization.

Parameters:

minimalbool, optional: Use minimal serialization. Has no effect on for this class.

Returns:

simplestr: The object converted to a single string.
