A module containing useful methods for working with fact
Project description
A python package with utils to work with the FACT Imaging Cerenkov Telescope
install with
$ pip install git+https://github.com/fact-project/pyfactThis takes automatically care of the dependencies which are installable with pip.
However, if you want to use the GUI Event Viewer you will need to install Tk before you install matplotlib as it depends on the tkagg backend.
functions:
fact includes several functions to convert the times used in fact data to more standard formats and vice versa.
e.g. :
from fact import run2dt
# convert fact fNight format to python datetime object:
date = run2dt("20150101")Submodules
plotting
Utils for plotting data into a FACT camera view. Based on matplotlib.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import fact.plotting as factplot
from numpy.random import normal
# create some pseudo data with shape (10, 1440):
data = normal(30, 5, (10, 1440))
factplot.camera(data[0])
plt.show()Or you can start an interactive Viewer which lets you click through the events and save the images:
from fact.plotting import Viewer
from numpy.random import poisson
# pseudo data:
data = poisson(30, (10, 1440))
# call the Viewer with data and a label for the colorbar:
Viewer(data, "label")There are also functions to get the camera_geometry from the delivered source file:
from fact.plotting import get_pixel_coords
pixel_x, pixel_y = get_pixel_coords()auxservices
Utilities to read in our aux fits files into pandas dataframes.
from fact.auxservices import MagicWeather
from datetime import date
weather = MagicWeather(auxdir='/fact/aux/')
df = weather.read_date(date(2016, 1, 1))Release history Release notifications | RSS feed
