Expand description
Library to parse FITS file written in pure rust.
Uses only one dependency, byteorder, to deal with endianness.
Uses intelligent cache to parse big FITS files. Developed for use in multi-threaded environments.
How to use
Read FITS
extern crate fitrs;
use fitrs::{Fits, FitsData, FitsDataArray};
let fits = Fits::open("path/to/fits/file.fits").expect("Failed to open");
// Iterate over HDUs
for hdu in fits.iter() {
println!("{:?}", hdu.value("EXTNAME"));
println!("{:?}", hdu.read_data());
}
// Get HDU by ID
let hdu_2 = &fits[2];
// Get HDU by EXTNAME
let hdu_flux = &fits["FLUX"];
match hdu_flux.read_data() {
&FitsData::FloatingPoint32(FitsDataArray { ref shape, ref data }) => {
println!("{:?}", shape);
println!("{:?}", data);
}
_ => { /* ... */ }
}
Write FITS
The FITS files written by fitrs
are verified by astropy.io.fits for
standard compliance. If fitrs
outputs a non-compliant FITS file, please
file a bug.
extern crate fitrs;
use fitrs::{Fits, Hdu};
// Make example dummy data array
let shape = [20, 20];
let data = (0..shape[0])
.map(|i| (0..shape[1]).map(move |j| i + j))
.flatten()
.collect();
let mut primary_hdu = Hdu::new(&[20, 20], data);
// Insert values in header
primary_hdu.insert("KEYSTR", "My string");
primary_hdu.insert("KEYSTR2", "Whatever value you want to save in this FITS files. Continued (long) strings are supported, if you happen to care.");
primary_hdu.insert("KEYFLOAT", 3.14);
primary_hdu.insert("KEYINT", 42);
// Save file
Fits::create("new_file.fits", primary_hdu).expect("Failed to create");
A lot of possibly desirable functionalities are still missing. PR are welcome.
