The methods for single axes are called 1d() andįITS defines CRVAL as the world coordinate that corresponds to In this tutorial to be more flexible when we want to apply changes to the header.

You will not be warned when a CTYPE is not recognized.įor the conversions between pixel coordinates and world coordinates weĭefined methods in a class which we called the wcs.Projection class.Īn object of this class is created using the header of the FITS file for It shows that you have to be careful with values for CTYPE because With this trick we force the system to do a linear transformation. We entered an axis type in CTYPE1 that WCSLIB does not recognize as a The minimal requirementįor FITS keywords are CTYPE, CRVAL, CRPIX and CDELT. In an attempt to create the most simple use of wcs we started to write a This invites to experiment with WCSLIB even moreīecause one can create a (minimal) FITS header from scratch. However, FITS data processed by wcs can also be FITS keywords that are So it may be obvious that FITS files play an important role in the use of Is defined by meta data which are usually found in FITS headers. The pixel coordinates are defined by the FITS standard.
