Module ring#

The module healpix_geo.ring gives for the ring indexation scheme.

Note

The ring scheme is principally given for compatibility. For new applications, prefer healpix_geo.nested.

Coordinates Conversions#

`healpix_to_lonlat`(ipix, depth[, ellipsoid, ...])	Get the longitudes and latitudes of the center of some HEALPix cells.
`lonlat_to_healpix`(longitude, latitude, depth)	Get the HEALPix indexes that contains specific points.
`vertices`(ipix, depth, ellipsoid[, step, ...])	Get the longitudes and latitudes of the vertices of some HEALPix cells at a given depth.

kth_neighbourhood(ipix, depth, ring[, ...])

Get the kth ring neighbouring cells of some HEALPix cells at a given depth.

Find all cells which intersect a region.
