Python Binding of chealpix
Project description
chealpy is the Python binding of chealpix.
chealpix is the C implementation of HealPix.
HealPix linearizes spherical coordinate into integers.
You will need numpy > 1.6.
The installation is just
python setup.py install
or
easy_install chealpy
Refer to HealPix manual for usage.
Two precisions are provided:
chealpy.high :upto nside=1<<29
chealpy.low : upto nside=8192
functions under the namespace chealpy are imported from chealpy.high
MAX_NSIDES is the upper limit of nsides
wrappers are automatically generated Cython code, making use
of NpyIter API.
For a feature-rich Healpix C++ binding, take a look at healpy.
