Pixelization of the map is set with binsz and one of either npix or width arguments. For maps with non-spatial dimensions a different pixelization can be used for each image plane by passing a list or array argument for any of the pixelization parameters. If both npix and width are None then an all-sky geometry will be created.

Make an exclusion mask for a circular region:
