Description

Survey cutouts plotted directly. 
 
No user choices, just plotting! These cutouts are intended to be used for a quick view, not analysis.
 
Installation
 
To install:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/avapolzin/cutout.git
cd cutout
sudo pip install .
or 
pip install cutout
 
 
Getting Started
 
cutout is intended to be as simple to use as possible. The primary, and only necessary, input is an object's name or coordinates. 
 
It is also possible to toggle whether a WCS grid, scalebar, and/or object label is shown, and where/whether to save an output image file. Defaults are no WCS grid, scalebar, or object label, and the output is only shown, not saved locally.
 
A few examples:
import cutout
 
cutout.survey.decals('Leo P', wcsgrid = False, scalebar = False, savepath = 'leop_cutout.png', labelimg = True)
 
cutout.survey.decals('10:21:45.12 +18:05:16.89', wcsgrid = False, scalebar = False, savepath = 'leop_cutout.png')
 
cutout.survey.hscssp('COSMOS-dw1')
 
cutout.survey.panstarrs('NGC 5486')
