class photutils.psf.matching.TukeyWindow(alpha)

Bases: SplitCosineBellWindow

Class to define a 2D Tukey window function.

The Tukey window is a taper formed by using a split cosine bell function with ends that touch zero.

Parameters:

alphafloat, optional

The percentage of array values that are tapered.

Examples

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from photutils.psf.matching import TukeyWindow

taper = TukeyWindow(alpha=0.4)
data = taper((101, 101))
plt.imshow(data, origin='lower')
plt.colorbar()
