[docs]def fill_map_counts(counts_map, events): """Fill events into a counts map. This method handles sky coordinates automatically. For all other map axes, an event list table column with the same name has to be present (case-insensitive compare), or a KeyError will be raised. Note that this function is just a thin wrapper around the sky map ``fill_by_coord`` method. For more complex scenarios, use that directly. Parameters ---------- counts_map : `~gammapy.maps.Map` Map object, will be filled by this function. events : `~gammapy.data.EventList` Event list Examples -------- To make a counts map, create an empty map with a geometry of your choice and then fill it using this function:: from gammapy.maps import Map from gammapy.data import EventList from gammapy.cube import fill_map_counts events = EventList.read('$GAMMAPY_DATA/cta-1dc/data/baseline/gps/gps_baseline_110380.fits') counts = Map.create(coordsys='GAL', skydir=(0, 0), binsz=0.1, npix=(120, 100)) fill_map_counts(counts, events) counts.plot() If you have a given map already, and want to make a counts image with the same geometry (not using the pixel data from the original map), do this: from gammapy.maps import Map from gammapy.data import EventList from gammapy.cube import fill_map_counts events = EventList.read("$GAMMAPY_DATA/fermi-3fhl-gc/fermi-3fhl-gc-events.fits.gz") reference_map = Map.read("$GAMMAPY_DATA/fermi-3fhl-gc/fermi-3fhl-gc-counts.fits.gz") counts = Map.from_geom(reference_map.geom) fill_map_counts(counts, events) counts.smooth(3).plot() It works for IACT and Fermi-LAT events, for WCS or HEALPix map geometries, and also for extra axes. Especially energy axes are automatically handled correctly. """ coord = events._get_coord_from_geom(counts_map.geom) counts_map.fill_by_coord(coord)
