SplitCosineBellWindow

class photutils.psf.matching.SplitCosineBellWindow(alpha, beta)[source]

Bases: object

Class to define a 2D split cosine bell taper function.

Parameters:
alphafloat, optional

The percentage of array values that are tapered.

betafloat, optional

The inner diameter as a fraction of the array size beyond which the taper begins. beta must be less or equal to 1.0.

Examples

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from photutils.psf import SplitCosineBellWindow

taper = SplitCosineBellWindow(alpha=0.4, beta=0.3)
data = taper((101, 101))
plt.imshow(data, cmap='viridis', origin='lower')
plt.colorbar()
