CylindricalDifferential¶

class astropy.coordinates.CylindricalDifferential(d_rho, d_phi=None, d_z=None, copy=False)[source]¶

Differential(s) of points in cylindrical coordinates.

Parameters:

d_rhoQuantity [:ref: ‘speed’]: The differential cylindrical radius.
d_phiQuantity [:ref: ‘angular speed’]: The differential azimuth.
d_zQuantity [:ref: ‘speed’]: The differential height.
copybool, optional: If True (default), arrays will be copied. If False, arrays will be references, though possibly broadcast to ensure matching shapes.

Attributes Summary
