FunctionTransform
(func, fromsys, tosys, priority=1, register_graph=None)[source]¶ Bases:
astropy.coordinates.CoordinateTransform
A coordinate transformation defined by a function that accepts a coordinate object and returns the transformed coordinate object.
Parameters: func : callable
The transformation function. Should have a call signature
func(formcoord, toframe)
. Note that, unlikeCoordinateTransform.__call__
,toframe
is assumed to be of typetosys
for this function.fromsys : class
The coordinate frame class to start from.
tosys : class
The coordinate frame class to transform into.
priority : number
The priority if this transform when finding the shortest coordinate transform path - large numbers are lower priorities.
register_graph :
TransformGraph
orNone
A graph to register this transformation with on creation, or
None
to leave it unregistered.Raises: TypeError
If
func
is not callable.ValueError
If
func
cannot accept two arguments.Methods Summary
__call__
(fromcoord, toframe)Does the actual coordinate transformation from the fromsys
class to thetosys

__call__
(fromcoord, toframe)[source]¶ Does the actual coordinate transformation from the
fromsys
class to thetosys
class.Parameters: fromcoord : fromsys object
An object of class matching
fromsys
that is to be transformed.toframe : object
An object that has the attributes necessary to fully specify the frame. That is, it must have attributes with names that match the keys of the dictionary that
tosys.get_frame_attr_names()
returns. Typically this is of classtosys
, but it might be some other class as long as it has the appropriate attributes.Returns: tocoord : tosys object
The new coordinate after the transform has been applied.
