Reference/API

This subpackage provides general-purpose utility functions.

Functions

calc_total_error(data, bkg_error, effective_gain)	Calculate a total error array, combining a background-only error array with the Poisson noise of sources.
circular_footprint(radius[, dtype])	Create a circular footprint.
make_random_cmap([ncolors, seed])	Make a matplotlib colormap consisting of (random) muted colors.

Classes
