This includes a framework for plotting Astronomical images with coordinates with Matplotlib (previously the standalone wcsaxes package), functionality related to image normalization (including both scaling and stretching), smart histogram plotting, RGB color image creation from separate images, and custom plotting styles for Matplotlib.

WCSAxes is a framework for making plots of Astronomical data in Matplotlib. It was previously distributed as a standalone package (wcsaxes), but is now included in astropy.visualization. The following is a very simple example of plotting an image …

APLpy (the Astronomical Plotting Library in Python - pronounced apple pie) is a Python package module aimed at producing publication-quality plots of astronomical imaging data, and has been around since 2009.

Plotting images as bitmaps or contours should be done via the usual matplotlib methods such as imshow() or contour(). For example, continuing from the example in Initializing axes with world coordinates, you can do: (png, svg, pdf) and we can also add contours corresponding to the same image using: (png, svg, pdf)

Feb 15, 2019 · I would like to plot a FITS image over a sketch of the entire sky. I got this far in plotting the entire sky: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from astropy.utils.data import get_pkg_data_filename ...

Use Matplotlib features to customize the appearance of figures. Generate a figure with multiple subplots.

APLpy (the Astronomical Plotting Library in Python) is a Python module aimed at producing publication-quality plots of astronomical imaging data in FITS format. It effectively provides a layer on top of Matplotlib to enable plotting of Astronomical images, and allows users to: Make plots interactively or using scripts

Feb 8, 2019 · How to plot an image from a FITS file with real coordinates? The astropy documentation has an example on how to plot an image from a FITS file. The axis on the resulting plot correspond to the number of pixels, or data points. I would like the axis to indicate galactic coordinates instead.

Astropy.visualization: Explore the visualization module within the Astropy library, which provides specialized tools and functions for plotting astronomical data. Discuss how to create celestial coordinate plots, sky maps, and image overlays using Astropy.visualization.

Jul 10, 2019 · I want to make a projection of millisecond pulsars on the galactic plane, much like this one from Sala et al. 2004: I have tried several methods, and have not gotten anywhere. This is my current code, along with what it is producing: Here are a few lines of the input file 'galacticwperiod.csv': This is the image it produces:
