cosmoplotian Documentation

This is the documentation for cosmoplotian.

cosmoplotian is a small package that defines some useful options within the matplotlib API. It does this in two main way:

• Provides a set of WCS projections using the astropy.visualization.wcsaxes.WCSAxes interface. These are designed to help plot HEALPix maps in both Galactic and ICRS frames.

• Provides a set of nice colormaps, integrated into the cmap API.

There are a few additional utility functions that can be imported and used, but mostly the package works behind the scenes in matplotlib.

• Sky Map Plotting (cosmoplotian.projections)
• Colormaps (cosmoplotian.colormaps)
