getxyFromFile

Return to directory of Todd's CASA extensions

Gets two columns of data from an ASCII file, as numpy arrays. See also interpolateTable.

Usage:

au.getxyFromFile(filename, xcol, ycol, delimiter=None, maxLines=None, 
            startAfter=None, stopAt=None, yhms=False, ydms=False)
Inputs:
  • xcol: the column number from which to read x-axis data
  • ycol: the column number from which to read y-axis data
  • delimiter: the string that delimits columns within a row (default = None which means whitespace)
  • startAfter: if defined, then skip all rows up to and including the first one contaning this string
  • stopAt: if defined, then skip all remaining rows when this string is seen
  • yhms: if True, then read 3 columns starting at ycol as HH MM SS.SSS and convert to deg
  • ydms: if True, then read 3 columns starting at ycol as DD MM SS.SSS and convert to deg

If a colon is seen in the xcol & ycol data, and xcol = ycol, then assume both columns are a sky position in sexagesimal format and convert them to radians. If a colon is seen in only one of them, then assume it is HH:MM[:SS] and convert it to floating point hours.

Example:

CASA <6>: au.getxyFromFile('random.both',xcol=0,ycol=21)
Skipping row 1 because there are only 1 columns.
