alert.py documentation
ztfquery.alert.py is module to visualise alerts generated by ZTF.
- None
There is a simple library inside ztfquery to load, access and display ZTF alerts.
Assuming you have a .avro alert stored in you computer at full_path_to_avro then:
from ztfquery import alert
ztfalert = alert.AlertReader.load(full_path_to_avro)Inthere, the alert itself is stored as ztfalert.alert.
Now, if you want to display the alert for instance, simply use the show() method.
You can also quickly display the alert by using the display_alert:
from ztfquery import alert
fig = alert.display_alert(full_path_to_avro, show_ps_stamp=True)
