Methods Documentation

coadd(map_in)

Add the contents of map_in to this map. This method can be used to combine maps containing integral quantities (e.g. counts) or differential quantities if the maps have the same binning.

Parameters:

map_in : Map

Input map.

convolve(kernel, use_fft=True, **kwargs)

Convolve map with a kernel.

If the kernel is two dimensional, it is applied to all image planes likewise. If the kernel is higher dimensional it must match the map in the number of dimensions and the corresponding kernel is selected for every image plane.

Parameters:

Convolution kernel.

use_fft : bool

Use scipy.signal.fftconvolve or scipy.ndimage.convolve.

kwargs : dict

Keyword arguments passed to scipy.signal.fftconvolve or scipy.ndimage.convolve.
