Drizzlib is a drizzling module to convert from HEALPIX to WCS FITS files.

Project description

DRIZZLIB
========

This is a [HEALPIx] to [WCS] FITS conversion python package.
You can extract a rectangular subset of the [HEALPIx] image into the [WCS]
format with the frame, projection and resolution of your choosing.

It has only been tested with python `2.6` and `2.7`.

[HEALPIx]: http://healpix.jpl.nasa.gov
[WCS]: http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_wcs.html
[drizzling]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drizzle_(image_processing)
[pip]: http://www.pip-installer.org



HOW TO INSTALL
==============

Dependencies
------------

`drizzlib` requires the python packages `numpy`, `astropy`, and `healpy`.
Those dependencies are listed in `requirements.txt`.

You can install them easily with [pip] (Pip Installs Packages) :

```
$ pip install --upgrade setuptools
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```

or, as a user, if you're not root or in a virtual env :

```
$ pip install --upgrade --user setuptools
$ pip install --user -r requirements.txt
```

As you can see, we need to upgrade `setuptools` to at least `14.3.1` _first_.
This is because `healpy` requires it, and pip internally uses `setuptools` too.


Install
-------

Simply run :

```
$ python setup.py install
```

You might need to be superuser for it to work if you are not in a
virtualenv :

```
$ sudo python setup.py install
```

or, as a simple user :

```
$ python setup.py install --user
```


Troubleshooting
---------------

- `The following required packages can not be built: freetype, png`
Older versions of healpy require old matplotlib that requires freetype :
`sudo apt-get install pkg-config libfreetype*`

- `fatal error: Python.h`
You need python's development packages, too :
`sudo apt-get install python-dev`

- `no lapack/blas resources found`
On Debian-based systems, install the following system packages :
`sudo apt-get install gfortran libopenblas-dev liblapack-dev`

- `UnicodeEncodeError`
Make sure the directory in which you uncompressed drizzlib does not contain
non-ascii characters in its path.



HOW TO USE
==========

As a library
------------

See `doc/TUTORIAL.md` for a more extensive example.

``` python
from drizzlib import healpix2wcs

# Reads `my_healpix.fits`, extracts a subset of its data described by the
# header in `wcs_config.fits`, and writes the result into `my_wcs.fits`.
healpix2wcs('my_healpix.fits', header='wcs_config.fits', output='my_wcs.fits')
```


As a binary
-----------

In the shell, run :

```
$ bin/healpix2wcs -h
```

or, if you installed the package, simply :

```
$ healpix2wcs -h
```

It will show you how to use it, which is like this:

```
$ healpix2wcs [-h] [-f] <healpix> <header> <out>
```



HOW TO DISTRIBUTE
=================

Bump the `VERSION`, and then run :

```
$ python setupy.py sdist
```

It will create a source distribution tarball in the `dist` directory.
It uses `MANIFEST.in` to exclude files we want to exclude.


Packaging on Pypi
-----------------

```
$ pip install --upgrade "pip>=1.4" "setuptools>=0.9" "wheel>=0.21" twine
$ python setup.py sdist
$ twine upload dist/drizzlib-*
```

In your ``~/.pypirc` :

```
[distutils]
index-servers=pypi

[pypi]
repository = https://pypi.python.org/pypi
username = <username>
password = <password>
```

BLACKBOARD
==========

Python 3.4
----------

Notes taken while trying with python 3.4.

Debian packages : python3.4 python3.4-dev virtualenv python-virtualenv

cd drizzlib
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.4 venv3.4
source venv3.4/bin/activate

# Now we're in virtualenv

# Annoying that we MUST do that first
# It might mess with our integration in pypi
pip install setuptools --upgrade

pip install -r requirements.txt


Also, I had to soft link the generated so file from where it was to the project root :

ln -s build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.4/optimized.cpython-34m.so optimized.so

The install should do this, but in a virtualenv... YMMV.
