ImageNormalize

class astropy.visualization.mpl_normalize.ImageNormalize(data=None, interval=None, vmin=None, vmax=None, stretch=<astropy.visualization.stretch.LinearStretch object>, clip=False)

Bases: matplotlib.colors.Normalize

Normalization class to be used with Matplotlib.

Parameters

datandarray, optional

The image array. This input is used only if interval is also input. data and interval are used to compute the vmin and/or vmax values only if vmin or vmax are not input.

intervalBaseInterval subclass instance, optional

The interval object to apply to the input data to determine the vmin and vmax values. This input is used only if data is also input. data and interval are used to compute the vmin and/or vmax values only if vmin or vmax are not input.

vmin, vmaxfloat, optional

The minimum and maximum levels to show for the data. The vmin and vmax inputs override any calculated values from the interval and data inputs.

stretchBaseStretch subclass instance

The stretch object to apply to the data. The default is LinearStretch.

clipbool, optional

If True, data values outside the [0:1] range are clipped to the [0:1] range.

Parameters

vmin, vmaxfloat or None

If vmin and/or vmax is not given, they are initialized from the minimum and maximum value, respectively, of the first input processed; i.e., __call__(A) calls autoscale_None(A).

clipbool, default: False

If True values falling outside the range [vmin, vmax], are mapped to 0 or 1, whichever is closer, and masked values are set to 1. If False masked values remain masked.

Clipping silently defeats the purpose of setting the over, under, and masked colors in a colormap, so it is likely to lead to surprises; therefore the default is clip=False.

Notes

Returns 0 if vmin == vmax.

Methods Summary

__call__(values[, clip])	Normalize value data in the [vmin, vmax] interval into the [0.0, 1.0] interval and return it.
inverse(values)

Methods Documentation

__call__(values, clip=None)

Normalize value data in the [vmin, vmax] interval into the [0.0, 1.0] interval and return it.

Parameters

value

Data to normalize.

clipbool

If None, defaults to self.clip (which defaults to False).

Notes

If not already initialized, self.vmin and self.vmax are initialized using self.autoscale_None(value).
