set_piximgvals

Context: crates

Synopsis

Set the pixel values in an image crate.

Syntax

set_piximgvals(crate, values)

Description

crate - input image crate
values - Numpy array of values

The set_piximgvals command sets the pixel values in the input IMAGECrate data array. The new array does not need to match the dimensionality or data type of the original data.

The value is only changed in the crate; the input file is unaffected. The write_file command ("ahelp write_file") can be used to save the modified crate to a file.

Example

>>> cr = read_file("image.fits")
>>> vals = get_piximgvals(cr)
>>> expo = get_keyval(cr, "EXPOSURE")
>>> newvals = vals/expo
>>> set_piximgvals(cr, newvals)
>>> write_file(cr, "div_image.fits")

Divide the values from image.fits by the exposure time from the EXPOSURE header keyword. Set the new values in the crate, then write out the new image values in div_image.fits.
