set_coord

Synopsis

Set the image coordinate system

set_coord( [id], coord=None)

Description

The set_coord command sets the coordinate system of the specified image. Image (logical) coordinates are used by default when reading an image. Functions from the WCS library are used to change the coordinate system to physical or world.

• id - the id of the dataset to use; if not given, uses the default dataset id (id=1 by default, see "ahelp get_default_id")
• coord - the coordinate system to use; allowed values are logical, physical, world, image (same as logical), and wcs (same as world)

Example 1

sherpa> set_coord("wcs")

The image coordinate system is set to world coordinates for dataset 1.

Example 2

sherpa> set_coord("srcimg", "physical")

The coordinate system for image dataset "srcimg" is set to physical coordinates.
