RectangleSkyRegion

class regions.RectangleSkyRegion(center, width, height, angle=<Quantity 0. deg>, meta=None, visual=None)

Bases: regions.SkyRegion

A rectangle in sky coordinates.

Parameters

centerSkyCoord

The position of the center of the rectangle.

widthQuantity

The width of the rectangle (before rotation) as an angle

heightQuantity

The height of the rectangle (before rotation) as an angle

angleQuantity, optional

The rotation angle of the rectangle, measured anti-clockwise. If set to zero (the default), the width axis is lined up with the longitude axis of the celestial coordinates.

metaRegionMeta object, optional

A dictionary which stores the meta attributes of this region.

visualRegionVisual object, optional

A dictionary which stores the visual meta attributes of this region.
