StaticMatrixTransform
(matrix, fromsys, tosys, priority=1, register_graph=None)[source]¶ Bases:
astropy.coordinates.BaseAffineTransform
A coordinate transformation defined as a 3 x 3 cartesian transformation matrix.
This is distinct from DynamicMatrixTransform in that this kind of matrix is independent of frame attributes. That is, it depends only on the class of the frame.
- Parameters
- matrixarray_like or callable
A 3 x 3 matrix for transforming 3-vectors. In most cases will be unitary (although this is not strictly required). If a callable, will be called with no arguments to get the matrix.
- fromsysclass
The coordinate frame class to start from.
- tosysclass
The coordinate frame class to transform into.
- prioritynumber
The priority if this transform when finding the shortest coordinate transform path - large numbers are lower priorities.
- register_graph
TransformGraph
orNone
A graph to register this transformation with on creation, or
None
to leave it unregistered.
- Raises
- ValueError
If the matrix is not 3 x 3

__call__
(self, fromcoord, toframe)[source]¶ Does the actual coordinate transformation from the
fromsys
class to thetosys
class.- Parameters
- fromcoordfromsys object
An object of class matching
fromsys
that is to be transformed.- toframeobject
An object that has the attributes necessary to fully specify the frame. That is, it must have attributes with names that match the keys of the dictionary that
tosys.get_frame_attr_names()
returns. Typically this is of classtosys
, but it might be some other class as long as it has the appropriate attributes.
- Returns
- tocoordtosys object
The new coordinate after the transform has been applied.
