Welcome to HealPixProjection’s documentation!¶
HealPixProjection is a project to allow easy and efficient projection of healpix maps onto planar grids. It can be used as a standalone program hpproj.cutsky()
$ cutsky 0.0 0.0 --mapfilenames HFI_SkyMap_857_2048_R2.00_full.fits
or as a python function
from hpproj import cutsky
result = cutsky([0.0, 0.0], maps={'HFI 857': {'filename': 'HFI_SkyMap_857_2048_R2.00_full.fits'}})
or as a python class, for optimization when producting several cuts
from hpproj import CutSky, to_coord
cutsky = CutSky({'Planck 857': {'filename': 'HFI_SkyMap_857_2048_R2.00_full.fits'}})
result = cutsky.cut_fits(to_coord([0., 0.])
Note
For science applications requiring high photometric accuracy, we recommend the drizzlib software developed by CADE, which uses a flux-conserving drizzling method to reproject data between HEALPix and local WCS. Drizzlib is available as standalone software (IDL python) here: http://cade.irap.omp.eu/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=software . An online interface, drizzweb, is available here: http://drizzweb.irap.omp.eu/ .
You can also have a look into the reproject.reproject_from_healpix()
function from the reproject package.
