image - Map image analysis

.. currentmodule:: gammapy.image

Introduction
============

`gammapy.image` contains functions and classes for image based analysis.
`gammapy.image.models` contains image models that can be evaluated and fitted.

Getting Started
===============

The functions and classes in `gammapy.image` take `gammapy.maps` objects as
input and output. Currently they only work on WCS-based 2D images. For some, we
will improve them to also work on HPX-based images and on maps with extra axes,
such as e.g. an energy axis.

.. plot::
    :include-source:

    from gammapy.maps import Map
    filename = '$GAMMAPY_DATA/fermi_2fhl/fermi_2fhl_vela.fits.gz'
    image = Map.read(filename, hdu=2)
    image.plot()

TODO: Show some gammapy.image functionality, e.g. evaluating a model image or
making a profile.
