Fast wavelet transforms on the sphere

S2LET: Fast wavelet transforms on the sphere

DESCRIPTION

S2LET provides functionality to perform fast and exact scale-discretised wavelet transforms on the sphere.

INSTALLATION

The python package, pys2let, is available on pypi and can be installed with:

pip install pys2let

Alternatively, it can be installed from a local clone of the repository for development purposes by

pip install -e .[dev]

The C package can be installed with CMake and conan:

Both can be installed using pip:

pip install "conan" cmake

Then S2LET can be compiled with:

git clone https://github.com/astro-informatics/s2let.git
cd s2let
cmake -B ./build -S . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PROJECT_TOP_LEVEL_INCLUDES=./cmake/conan_provider.cmake -Dcfitsio=ON 
cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build
cmake --install build --install-prefix=/usr/local

The above will also download all necessary dependencies.

Instructions for installing other languages can be found here.

DOCUMENTATION

Further documentation is available here.

Usage for the python package is also given in the package docstring.
