healpy.fitsfunc.write_map¶
- healpy.fitsfunc.write_map(filename, m, nest=False, dtype=<type 'numpy.float32'>, fits_IDL=True, coord=None, column_names=None, column_units=None, extra_header=())¶
Writes an healpix map into an healpix file.
Parameters: filename : str
the fits file name
m : array or sequence of 3 arrays
the map to write. Possibly a sequence of 3 maps of same size. They will be considered as I, Q, U maps. Supports masked maps, see the ma function.
nest : bool, optional
If True, ordering scheme is assumed to be NESTED, otherwise, RING. Default: RING. The map ordering is not modified by this function, the input map array should already be in the desired ordering (run ud_grade beforehand).
fits_IDL : bool, optional
If True, reshapes columns in rows of 1024, otherwise all the data will go in one column. Default: True
coord : str
The coordinate system, typically ‘E’ for Ecliptic, ‘G’ for Galactic or ‘C’ for Celestial (equatorial)
column_names : str or list
Column name or list of column names, if None we use: I_STOKES for 1 component, I/Q/U_STOKES for 3 components, II, IQ, IU, QQ, QU, UU for 6 components, COLUMN_0, COLUMN_1... otherwise
column_units : str or list
Units for each column, or same units for all columns.
extra_header : list
Extra records to add to FITS header.
