Quadrangle

class astropy.visualization.wcsaxes.Quadrangle(anchor, width, height, resolution=100, vertex_unit=Unit('deg'), **kwargs)

Bases: Polygon

Create a patch representing a latitude-longitude quadrangle.

The edges of the quadrangle lie on two lines of constant longitude and two lines of constant latitude (or the equivalent component names in the coordinate frame of interest, such as right ascension and declination). Note that lines of constant latitude are not great circles.

Unlike matplotlib.patches.Rectangle, the edges of this patch will render as curved lines if appropriate for the WCS transformation.

Parameters:

anchorpython:tuple or Quantity [:ref: ‘angle’]

This can be either a tuple of two Quantity objects, or a single Quantity array with two elements.

widthQuantity [:ref: ‘angle’]

The width of the quadrangle in longitude (or, e.g., right ascension)

heightQuantity [:ref: ‘angle’]

The height of the quadrangle in latitude (or, e.g., declination)

resolutionpython:int, optional

The number of points that make up each side of the quadrangle - increase this to get a smoother quadrangle.

vertex_unitUnit [:ref: ‘angle’]

The units in which the resulting polygon should be defined - this should match the unit that the transformation (e.g. the WCS transformation) expects as input.

Notes

Additional keyword arguments are passed to Polygon

xy is a numpy array with shape Nx2.

If closed is True, the polygon will be closed so the starting and ending points are the same.

Valid keyword arguments are:
