Attributes Documentation

array

Get a pure array representation of the LDO. Useful when multiplying and using numpy indexing tricks.

hdu

quantity

Get a pure Quantity representation of the LDO.

write = <spectral_cube.io.core.LowerDimensionalObjectWrite object>

Methods Documentation

read(*args, **kwargs)

shrink_mask()

Copy of the numpy masked_array shrink_mask method. This is essentially a hack needed for matplotlib to show images.

to(unit, equivalencies=[], freq=None)

Return a new Projection of the same class with the specified unit.
