IsophoteList¶
- class photutils.isophote.IsophoteList(iso_list)[source]¶
Bases:
object
Container class that provides the same attributes as the
Isophote
class, but for a list of isophotes.The attributes of this class are arrays representing the values of the attributes for the entire list of
Isophote
instances. See theIsophote
class for a description of the attributes.The class extends the
list
functionality, thus provides basic list behavior such as slicing, appending, and support for ‘+’ and ‘+=’ operators.Attributes Summary
