.. _surveys: .. role:: python(code) :language: python SkyProj Surveys =============== `SkyProj` has pre-defined a number of survey classes. These classes have been set with a preferred projection type and axis ranges, as well as defining methods to draw the survey outline. Note that when using these survey classes to create a projection, then when you plot a map the default is not to zoom in on the range of the map, but to keep the survey range. DESSkyproj ---------- The :code:`skyproj.DESSkyproj()` projection sets the projection for plotting the survey outline of the `Dark Energy Survey `_ (DES). The default for DES uses the :code:`skyproj.McBrydeSkyproj()` centered at +30 degrees longitude. The outline of DES can be accessed with :code:`draw_des()`. .. code-block :: python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import skyproj fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5)) sp = skyproj.DESSkyproj(ax=ax) sp.draw_des(label='DES') sp.tissot_indicatrices(radius=2.5, num_lon=18, num_lat=10, color='blue', alpha=0.3) sp.ax.legend() plt.show() .. image:: images/DES_survey_with_indicatrices.png :width: 600 :alt: DES Survey projection and survey outline with Tissot indicatrices. DESAlbersSkyproj ---------------- The :code:`skyproj.DESAlbersSkyproj()` projection sets the projection for plotting the survey outline of the DES using an Albers Equal Area projection. The default for DES (Albers) uses the :code:`skyproj.AlbersSkyproj()` centered at +30 degrees longitude, with standard parallels at -15 degrees and -50 degrees latitude. The outline of DES can be accessed with :code:`draw_des()`. .. code-block :: python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import skyproj fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5)) sp = skyproj.DESAlbersSkyproj(ax=ax) sp.draw_des(label='DESAlbers') sp.tissot_indicatrices(radius=2.5, num_lon=18, num_lat=10, color='blue', alpha=0.3) sp.ax.legend() plt.show() .. image:: images/DESAlbers_survey_with_indicatrices.png :width: 600 :alt: DES Survey projection and survey outline, Albers Equal Area projection, with Tissot indicatrices. BlissSkyproj ------------ The :code:`skyproj.BlissSkyproj()` projection sets the projection for plotting the survey outline of the Blanco Imaging of the Southern Sky (BLISS) survey. The default for BLISS uses the :code:`skyproj.McBrydeSkyproj()` centered at 100 degrees longitude. The outline of BLISS can be accessed with :code:`draw_bliss()`. .. code-block :: python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import skyproj fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5)) sp = skyproj.BlissSkyproj(ax=ax) sp.draw_bliss(label='BLISS') sp.ax.legend() plt.show() .. image:: images/BLISS_survey.png :width: 600 :alt: BLISS Survey projection and survey outline. MaglitesSkyproj --------------- The :code:`skyproj.MaglitesSkyproj()` projection sets the projection for plotting the survey outline of the Magellanic Satellites Survey (MagLiteS). The default for MagLiteS uses the :code:`skyproj.LaeaSkyproj()` centered at the South Pole. The outline of MagLiteS can be accessed with :code:`draw_maglites()`. .. code-block :: python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import skyproj fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5)) sp = skyproj.MaglitesSkyproj(ax=ax) sp.draw_maglites(label='MagLiteS') sp.ax.legend() plt.show() .. image:: images/MagLiTeS_survey.png :width: 600 :alt: MagLiTeS Survey projection and survey outline. DecalsSkyproj ------------- The :code:`skyproj.DecalsSkyproj()` projection sets the projection for plotting the survey outline of the `Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey `_ (DECaLS). The default for DECaLS uses the :code:`skyproj.McBrydeSkyproj()` centered at 105 degrees longitude. The outline of DECaLS can be accessed with :code:`draw_decals()`. .. code-block :: python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import skyproj fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5)) sp = skyproj.DecalsSkyproj(ax=ax) sp.draw_decals(label='DECaLS') sp.ax.legend() plt.show() .. image:: images/DECaLS_survey.png :width: 600 :alt: DECaLS Survey projection and survey outline. RomanHLWASSkyproj ----------------- The :code:`skyproj.RomanHLWASSkyproj()` projection sets the projection for plotting the survey outline of the `Roman Space Telescope High Latitude Wide Area Survey (HLWAS) `_. The default for the Roman HLWAS uses the :code:`skyproj.McBrydeSkyproj()` centered at -90 degrees longitude. The outline of the Roman HLWAS can be accessed with :code:`draw_roman_hlwas()`. .. code-block :: python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import skyproj fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5)) sp = skyproj.RomanHLWASSkyproj(ax=ax) sp.draw_roman_hlwas(label='Roman HLWAS') sp.legend() plt.show() .. image:: ../docs/images/Roman_HLWAS_survey.png :width: 600 :alt: Roman HLWAS projection and survey outline.
