wcs-1.0.0: A system for describing generalized world coordinate transformations.

Type: object.

A system for describing generalized world coordinate transformations.

ASDF WCS is a way of specifying transformations (usually from detector space to world coordinate space and back) by using the transformations in the transform-schema module.

Properties:

name

Type: string. Required.

A descriptive name for this WCS.

steps

Type: array of ( step-1.0.0 ). Required.

A list of steps in the forward transformation from detector to world coordinates. The inverse transformation is determined automatically by reversing this list, and inverting each of the individual transforms according to the rules described in [inverse](ref:http://stsci.edu/schemas/asdf/transform/transform-1.1.0/properties/inverse).
