class
lsst.skymap.
BaseSkyMap
(config=None)¶ Bases:
object
A collection of overlapping Tracts that map part or all of the sky.
See TractInfo for more information.
Parameters: - config :
BaseSkyMapConfig
or None (optional) The configuration for this SkyMap; if None use the default config.
Notes
BaseSkyMap is an abstract base class. Subclasses must do the following: define
__init__
and have it construct the TractInfo objects and put them in__tractInfoList__
define__getstate__
and__setstate__
to allow pickling (the butler saves sky maps using pickle); see DodecaSkyMap for an example of how to do this. (Most of that code could be moved into this base class, but that would make it harder to handle older versions of pickle data.) define updateSha1 to add any subclass-specific state to the hash.All SkyMap subclasses must be conceptually immutable; they must always refer to the same set of mathematical tracts and patches even if the in- memory representation of those objects changes.

findClosestTractPatchList
(coordList)¶ Find closest tract and patches that overlap coordinates.
Parameters: - coordList :
lsst.geom.SpherePoint
List of ICRS sky coordinates to search for.
Returns: - retList :
list
list of (TractInfo, list of PatchInfo) for tracts and patches that contain, or may contain, the specified region. The list will be empty if there is no overlap.
- coordList :
-
findTract
(coord)¶ Find the tract whose center is nearest the specified coord.
Parameters: - coord :
lsst.geom.SpherePoint
ICRS sky coordinate to search for.
Returns: - result :
TractInfo
TractInfo of tract whose center is nearest the specified coord.
Notes
- If coord is equidistant between multiple sky tract centers then one is arbitrarily chosen.
- The default implementation is not very efficient; subclasses may wish to override.
Warning: If tracts do not cover the whole sky then the returned tract may not include the coord.
- coord :
-
findTractPatchList
(coordList)¶ Find tracts and patches that overlap a region.
Parameters: - coordList :
list
oflsst.geom.SpherePoint
List of ICRS sky coordinates to search for.
Returns: Notes
- warning:
- This uses a naive algorithm that may find some tracts and patches that do not overlap the region (especially if the region is not a rectangle aligned along patch x, y).
- coordList :
-
getSha1
()¶ Return a SHA1 hash that uniquely identifies this SkyMap instance.
Returns: - sha1 :
bytes
A 20-byte hash that uniquely identifies this SkyMap instance.
Notes
Subclasses should almost always override
updateSha1
instead of this function to add subclass-specific state to the hash.- sha1 :
-
logSkyMapInfo
(log)¶ Write information about a sky map to supplied log
Parameters: - log :
lsst.log.Log
Log object that information about skymap will be written
- log :
-
register
(name, butler)¶ Add skymap, tract, and patch Dimension entries to the given Gen3 Butler.
Parameters: - name :
str
The name of the skymap.
- butler :
lsst.daf.butler.Butler
The butler to add to.
Raises: - lsst.daf.butler.registry.ConflictingDefinitionError
Raised if a different skymap exists with the same name.
Notes
Registering the same skymap multiple times (with the exact same definition) is safe, but inefficient; most of the work of computing the rows to be inserted must be done first in order to check for consistency between the new skymap and any existing one.
Re-registering a skymap with different tract and/or patch definitions but the same summary information may not be detected as a conflict but will never result in updating the skymap; there is intentionally no way to modify a registered skymap (aside from manual administrative operations on the database), as it is hard to guarantee that this can be done without affecting reproducibility.

updateSha1
(sha1)¶ Add subclass-specific state or configuration options to the SHA1.
Parameters: - sha1 :
hashlib.sha1
A hashlib object on which
update
can be called to add additional state to the hash.
Notes
This method is conceptually “protected” : it should be reimplemented by all subclasses, but called only by the base class implementation of
getSha1
