generate_uv#

xrayvision.transform.generate_uv(number_pixels, center=<Quantity 0. arcsec>, pixel_size=<Quantity 1. arcsec>)[source]#

Generate the u or v coordinates given the number of pixels, center and pixel size.

Parameters:

number_pixels (int) – Number of pixels
center (float, optional) – Center coordinates
pixel_size (float, optional) – Size of pixel in physical units (e.g. arcsecs, meters)

Returns:

numpy.array – The generated u, v coordinates

None: Generates corresponding coordinate but un x, y space
