TRANSFORMS - A high-level interface for the Transform library
TRANSFORMS is a software package developed by the Chandra X-Ray
Center (CXC) to provide a means of applying mathematical operations
to data in order to convert it from one reference frame to another.
Various Transform objects can be strung together to create complex
operations.
The library can be used as a standalone system, and is
incorporated into the CRATES package to support the generation
and use of "virtual" data objects
(see "ahelp cratedata").
To date, there is one Transform flavor defined:
-
WCSTAN - WCS Tangent plane projection
The Python code is automatically loaded when
the CRATES module is loaded.
There are help files for each of the Transform commands:
See the
