Bases:
NDCubeABC,NDData,NDCubeSlicingMixinClass representing N-D data described by a single array and set of WCS transformations.
- Parameters:
data (array-like or
astropy.nddata.NDData) – The array holding the actual data in this object.wcs (
astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseLowLevelWCS,astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseHighLevelWCS, optional) – The WCS object containing the axes’ information, optional only ifdatais anastropy.nddata.NDDataobject.uncertainty (Any, optional) – Uncertainty in the dataset. Should have an attribute uncertainty_type that defines what kind of uncertainty is stored, for example “std” for standard deviation or “var” for variance. A metaclass defining such an interface is
NDUncertainty- but isn’t mandatory. If the uncertainty has no such attribute the uncertainty is stored asUnknownUncertainty. Defaults to None.mask (Any, optional) – Mask for the dataset. Masks should follow the numpy convention that valid data points are marked by
Falseand invalid ones withTrue. Defaults toNone.meta (dict-like object, optional) – Additional meta information about the dataset. If no meta is provided an empty dictionary is created.
unit (Unit-like or
str, optional) – Unit for the dataset. Strings that can be converted to aUnitare allowed. Default isNonewhich results in dimensionless units.copy (bool, optional) – Indicates whether to save the arguments as copy.
Truecopies every attribute before saving it whileFalsetries to save every parameter as reference. Note however that it is not always possible to save the input as reference. Default isFalse.

Notes
It is possible to set the
.dataattribute on aNDCubewith an array-like object of the same shape. However, this is really only intended for replacing the data with a different object representing the same physical data as no other properties of the cube will be changed, such as uncertainty or unit.

Methods Documentation
- axis_world_coords(*axes, pixel_corners=False, wcs=None)[source]#
Returns objects representing the world coordinates of pixel centers for a desired axes.
- Parameters:
axes (
intorstr, or multipleintorstr, optional) – Axis number in numpy ordering or unique substring ofndcube.NDCube.wcs.world_axis_physical_typesof axes for which real world coordinates are desired. Not specifying axes inputs causes results for all axes to be returned.pixel_corners (
bool, optional) – IfTruethen instead of returning the coordinates at the centers of the pixels, the coordinates at the pixel corners will be returned. This increases the size of the output by 1 in all dimensions as all corners are returned.wcs (
astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseHighLevelWCS, optional) – The WCS object to used to calculate the world coordinates. Although technically this can be any valid WCS, it will typically beself.wcs,self.extra_coords, orself.combined_wcscombining both the WCS and extra coords. Default=self.wcs
- Returns:
axes_coords (iterable) – An iterable of “high level” objects giving the real world coords for the axes requested by user. For example, a tuple of
SkyCoordobjects. The types returned are determined by the WCS object. The dimensionality of these objects should match that of their corresponding array dimensions, unlesspixel_corners=Truein which case the length along each axis will be 1 greater than the number of pixels.
Examples
>>> NDCube.axis_world_coords('lat', 'lon') >>> NDCube.axis_world_coords(2)
- axis_world_coords_values(*axes, pixel_corners=False, wcs=None)[source]#
Returns the world coordinate values of all pixels for desired axes. In contrast to
ndcube.NDCube.axis_world_coords(), this method returnsQuantityobjects. Which only provide units rather than full coordinate metadata provided by high-level coordinate objects.- Parameters:
axes (
intorstr, or multipleintorstr, optional) – Axis number in numpy ordering or unique substring ofndcube.NDCube.wcs.world_axis_physical_typesof axes for which real world coordinates are desired. axes=None implies all axes will be returned.pixel_corners (
bool, optional) – IfTruethen coordinates at pixel corners will be returned rather than at pixel centers. This increases the size of the output along each dimension by 1 as all corners are returned.wcs (
BaseHighLevelWCSorExtraCoordsABC, optional) – The WCS object to be used to calculate the world coordinates. Although technically this can be any valid WCS, it will typically beself.wcs,self.extra_coords, orself.combined_wcs, combing both the WCS and extra coords. Defaults to the.wcsproperty.
- Returns:
axes_coords (
tupleofQuantity) – An iterable of raw coordinate values for all pixels for the requested axes. The returned units are determined by the WCS object. The dimensionality of these objects should match that of their corresponding array dimensions, unlesspixel_corners=Truein which case the length along each axis will be 1 greater than the number of pixels.
Examples
>>> NDCube.axis_world_coords_values('lat', 'lon') >>> NDCube.axis_world_coords_values(2)
- crop(*points, wcs=None, keepdims=False)[source]#
Crop using real world coordinates. This method crops the NDCube to the smallest bounding box in pixel space that contains all the provided world coordinate points.
This function takes the points defined as high-level astropy coordinate objects such as
SkyCoord,SpectralCoord, etc.- Parameters:
points (iterable of iterables) – Tuples of high level coordinate objects e.g.
SkyCoord. Each iterable of coordinate objects represents a single location in the data array in real world coordinates.The coordinates of the points as they are passed to
world_to_array_index. Therefore their number and order must be compatible with the API of that method, i.e. they must be passed in world order.wcs (
BaseHighLevelWCSorExtraCoordsABC) – The WCS to use to calculate the pixel coordinates based on the input. Will default to the.wcsproperty if not given. While any valid WCS could be used it is expected that either the.wcsor.extra_coordsproperties will be used.keepdims (
bool, optional) – IfFalseand if cropping results in length-1 dimensions, these are sliced away in output cube. IfTrue, length-1 dimensions are kept. Default=False
- Returns:
Examples
>>> # An example of cropping a region of interest on the Sun from a 3-D image-time cube >>> point1 = [SkyCoord(-50*u.deg, -40*u.deg, frame=frames.HeliographicStonyhurst), None] >>> point2 = [SkyCoord(0*u.deg, -6*u.deg, frame=frames.HeliographicStonyhurst), None] >>> NDCube.crop(point1, point2)
- crop_by_values(*points, units=None, wcs=None, keepdims=False)[source]#
Crop using real world coordinates. This method crops the NDCube to the smallest bounding box in pixel space that contains all the provided world coordinate points.
This function takes points as iterables of low-level coordinate objects, i.e.
Quantityobjects. This differs fromcrop()which takes high-level coordinate objects requiring all the relevant coordinate information such as coordinate frame etc. Hence this method’s API is more basic but less explicit.- Parameters:
points (iterable) – Tuples of coordinate values, the length of the tuples must be equal to the number of world dimensions. These points are passed to
wcs.world_to_array_index_valuesso their units and order must be compatible with that method.units (
strorUnit) – If the inputs are set without units, the user must set the units inside this argument asstrorUnitobjects. The length of the iterable must equal the number of world dimensions and must have the same order as the coordinate points.wcs (
BaseHighLevelWCSorExtraCoordsABC) – The WCS to use to calculate the pixel coordinates based on the input. Will default to the.wcsproperty if not given. While any valid WCS could be used it is expected that either the.wcsor.extra_coordsproperties will be used.keepdims (
bool, optional) – IfFalseand if cropping results in length-1 dimensions, these are sliced away in output cube. IfTrue, length-1 dimensions are kept. Default=False
- Returns:
Examples
>>> # An example of cropping a region of interest on the Sun from a 3-D image-time cube >>> NDCube.crop_by_values((-600, -600, 0), (0, 0, 0), units=(u.arcsec, u.arcsec, u.s))

ndcube.NDCubeSequence)
- reproject_to(
- target_wcs,
- algorithm='interpolation',
- shape_out=None,
- return_footprint=False,
- **reproject_args,
Reprojects the instance to the coordinates described by another WCS object.
- Parameters:
target_wcs (
astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseHighLevelWCS,astropy.wcs.wcsapi.BaseLowLevelWCS,) – orastropy.io.fits.HeaderThe WCS object to which thendcube.NDCubeis to be reprojected.algorithm ({‘interpolation’ | ‘adaptive’ | ‘exact’}) – The algorithm to use for reprojecting. When set to “interpolation”
reproject_interpis used, when set to “adaptive”reproject_adaptiveis used and when set to “exact”reproject_exactis used.shape_out (
tuple, optional) – The shape of the output data array. The ordering of the dimensions must follow NumPy ordering and not the WCS pixel shape. If not specified,array_shapeattribute (if available) from the low level API of thetarget_wcsis used.return_footprint (
bool) – IfTruethe footprint is returned in addition to the newNDCube. Defaults toFalse.**reproject_args – All other arguments are passed through to the reproject function being called. The function being called depends on the
algorithm=keyword argument, see that for more details.
- Returns:
reprojected_cube (
ndcube.NDCube) – A new resultant NDCube object, the suppliedtarget_wcswill be the.wcsattribute of the outputNDCube.footprint (
numpy.ndarray) – Footprint of the input array in the output array. Values of 0 indicate no coverage or valid values in the input image, while values of 1 indicate valid values.
Notes
This method doesn’t support handling of the
mask,extra_coords, anduncertaintyattributes yet. However,metaandglobal_coordsare copied to the outputndcube.NDCube.
