Python API reference

lsst.afw.display Package

Application Framework code to display images.

Functions

computeIntensity(imageR[, imageG, imageB])

Return a naive total intensity from the red, blue, and green intensities

delAllDisplays()

Delete and close all known displays.

displayRGB(rgb[, show])

Display an rgb image using matplotlib

getDefaultBackend()

getDefaultFrame()

Get the default frame for display.

getDisplay([frame, backend, create, verbose])

Return a specific Display, creating it if need be.

getZScale(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

h_callback(k, x, y)

incrDefaultFrame()

Increment the default frame for display.

makeRGB(imageR[, imageG, imageB, minimum, ...])

Make a set of three images into an RGB image using an asinh stretch and optionally write it to disk

noop_callback(k, x, y)

Callback function

replaceSaturatedPixels(rim, gim, bim[, ...])

setDefaultBackend(backend)

setDefaultFrame([frame])

setDefaultMaskPlaneColor([name, color])

Set the default mapping from mask plane names to colors.

setDefaultMaskTransparency([...])

writeFitsImage(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

writeRGB(fileName, rgbImage)

Write an RGB image to disk

Classes

AsinhMapping(minimum, dataRange[, Q])

A mapping for an asinh stretch (preserving colours independent of brightness)

AsinhZScaleMapping(image[, Q, pedestal])

A mapping for an asinh stretch, estimating the linear stretch by zscale

Display([frame, backend])

Create an object able to display images and overplot glyphs.

Event(k[, x, y])

A class to handle events such as key presses in image display windows.

LinearMapping([minimum, maximum, image])

A linear map of red, blue, green intensities into uint8 values

Mapping([minimum, image])

Base class to map red, blue, green intensities into uint8 values

Mosaic([gutter, background, mode])

A class to handle mosaics of one or more identically-sized images (or Mask or MaskedImage)

ZScaleMapping(image[, nSamples, contrast])

A mapping for a linear stretch chosen by the zscale algorithm (preserving colours independent of brightness)
