AffineTransform

class astropy.coordinates.AffineTransform(transform_func, fromsys, tosys, priority=1, register_graph=None)

Bases: astropy.coordinates.BaseAffineTransform

A coordinate transformation specified as a function that yields a 3 x 3 cartesian transformation matrix and a tuple of displacement vectors.

See Galactocentric for an example.

Parameters:

transform_func : callable

A callable that has the signature transform_func(fromcoord, toframe) and returns: a (3, 3) matrix that operates on fromcoord in a Cartesian representation, and a CartesianRepresentation with (optionally) an attached velocity CartesianDifferential to represent a translation and offset in velocity to apply after the matrix operation.

fromsys : class

The coordinate frame class to start from.

tosys : class

The coordinate frame class to transform into.

priority : number

The priority if this transform when finding the shortest coordinate transform path - large numbers are lower priorities.

register_graph : TransformGraph or None

A graph to register this transformation with on creation, or None to leave it unregistered.

Raises:

TypeError

If transform_func is not callable
