It relies on PyWCS (based on WCSLIB). It consists of two subpackages: +updatewcs and wcsutil. Updatewcs performs corrections to the basic WCS and includes +other distortion infomation in the science files as header keywords or file extensions. +Wcsutil provides an HSTWCS object which extends pywcs.WCS object and provides HST instrument +specific information as well as methods for coordinate tarnsformaiton. Wcsutil also provides +functions for manipulating alternate WCS descriptions in the headers. + +""" from __future__ import division # confidence high #import all needed modules here to avoid relative imports |
