Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

astronomical coordinate translation library

Readme

Introduction

This library was created from the coordinates package of JSky version 3.0. The primary goal is to create a JavaScript coordinate conversion library for use in a browser. Secondary goals are to make the library available for Java applications and node.js applications. It is implemented in Java and is converted to JavaScript using JSweet.

Installation

coordtxl can be installed using npm:

bash$ npm install coordtxl

Usage

The world coordinate system is specified using a FITS header stored in a keyword/value map object. This is an example of such a map based on a test image from CASA:

represented in JSON format (referenced as './test-residual-header.json' below). The FITS map object is used to initialize MapKeywordProvider which provides the values to the WCSTransform object. This object provides functions for conversion from image to world coordinates. This is an example of its usage:

import { Point2D,
         WorldCoords,
         WCSTransform,
         MapKeywordProvider } from 'coordtxl'

import * as fs from 'fs'

// load FITS header
let rawdata = fs.readFileSync('./test-residual-header.json')
let hdr = JSON.parse(rawdata.toString( ))
// create coordtxl map coupler
let kwp = new MapKeywordProvider(hdr)
// create coordinate tranformation object
let wcs = new WCSTransform(kwp)
// check object state
console.log( wcs.isWCS( ) )
// create a point to be transformed
let p = new Point2D(0.0,0.0)
console.log(p)
// convert point from image to world coordinates
wcs.imageToWorldCoords(p,false)
console.log(p)
// create string representation of the point
let wcstr = new WorldCoords(p.getX(),p.getY()).toString( )
console.log( wcstr )
// create X and Y string representation
console.log( new WorldCoords(p.getX(),p.getY()).format(2000) );

FITS Keywords Used

This is a list of the FITS header keywords used from a WCSKeywordProvider (circa July, 2023) by the WCSTransform conversion class. Each line includes the member function called, the keyword retrieved and along with sample values from a test test.residual interactive clean residual image. The <default: ...> return values indicates the value actually returned and the fact that the default value was returned instead of a value supplied from the CASA FITS header.
