class gemini_instruments.f2.AstroDataF2(provider)[source]

Bases: AstroDataGemini

array_section(pretty=False)[source]

Returns the rectangular section that includes the pixels that would be exposed to light. If pretty is False, a tuple of 0-based coordinates is returned with format (x1, x2, y1, y2). If pretty is True, a keyword value is returned without parsing as a string. In this format, the coordinates are generally 1-based.

One tuple or string is return per extension/array, in a list. If the method is called on a single slice, the section is returned as a tuple or a string.

Parameters

pretty (bool) – If True, return the formatted string found in the header.

Returns

  • tuple of integers or list of tuples – Location of the pixels exposed to light using Python slice values.

  • string or list of strings – Location of the pixels exposed to light using an IRAF section format (1-based).
