Current functions

The following is a summary of the functions present in the package:

• text_plot: prepares a one line text containing the basic information obtained from reading basic keywords from the input FITS file.
• ingest_data: Prepares the data in a key-value system, ready to be used by the other functions. To navigate the FITS file, will use the card argument, as in 'EXTENSION:CARD'.
• is_iterable: Returns True or False depending on whether the passed argument is an iterable other than a string class object.
• get_time_deltas: Finds the separation intervals for rebinning in a FITS file, relying on the input number of points and which keywords to evaluate.
• TS_rebin: Performs the rebinning of the input data, using the relation between points passed in the arguments (DTin, DTout).
• saves_in_pdf: Saves several figures (passed as a list) into a single pdf.
• simple_1d_histogram: Creates a simple histogram using 1D data in several format. The data and plotting details are passed as arguments.
• simple_2d_plot: Creates a simple 2D plot using the input data and labels passed.
• ingest_table: Similar to ingest_data, but prepared to work with AstroPy Table objects
• load_figures: Loads a list of pickled matplotlib figures into a new list consisting on the figures.
• merge_pdf: Joins several PDF files into a single PDF.
• plot_image: Plots an image from a FITS file.
• check_format_compatibility: Checks if the input format can be used in matplotlib.
• reg_to_list: Given a region file as string based on ds9 formatting, returns the information as Python values.
• plot_region_box: Given an AxisSubplot object, returns the axis with an implemented box region.
