pypa:pywwt 0.15.0 (2022-01-14)
This release adds support for viewing arbitrarily-sized FITS files in pywwt,
with automatic tiling provided by the Toasty library!
- Extend the existing FITS viewing support to automatically tile FITS images if
needed, using either Toasty or CDS' hipsgen depending on the angular size of
the image (#316, @imbasimba). While the Python interfaces don't look any
different, there is now a lot more machinery under the hood so that pywwt can
perform well whether your FITS file is a megabyte or a gigabyte in size. - Use the new WWT Kernel Data Relay (KDR) for serving up kernel-side data
in Jupyter (#316, @pkgw, @imbasimba). You will now need to install the Python
packagewwt_kernel_data_relay
as a Jupyter Server extension for FITS viewing
to work in pywwt. This extension is necessary for pywwt to be able to send
FITS data to the WWT web app on-demand, as you navigate an image. The KDR
extension should be useful for other similar visualization tools as well. - Lots of other under-the-hood work to get asynchronous tiling and data service
working smoothly. - Automatically use better default names and data cuts when viewing FITS files
(#323, @imbasimba). - Substantially clean up and (hopefully) improve the documentation (#318, #324,
@pkgw). This includes a new documentation theme based on the Astropy docs.
