class `drizzlepac.imgclasses.``Image`(filename, input_catalogs=None, exclusions=None, **kwargs)

  Bases: `object`

  Primary class to keep track of all WCS and catalog information for a single input image. This class also performs all matching and fitting.

  Parameters: | filename : str Filename for image. input_catalogs : list of str or None Filename of catalog files for each chip, if specified by user. kwargs : dict Parameters necessary for processing derived from input configObj object.

  `buildDefaultRefWCS`()

    Generate a default reference WCS for this image.

  `buildSkyCatalog`()

    Convert sky catalog for all chips into a single catalog for the entire field-of-view of this image.

  `clean`()

    Remove intermediate files created.

  `close`()

    Close any open file handles and flush updates to disk

  `compute_fit_rms`()
  `get_shiftfile_row`()

    Return the information for a shiftfile for this image to provide compatability with the IRAF-based MultiDrizzle.

  `get_wcs`()

    Helper method to return a list of all the input WCS objects associated with this image.

  `get_xy_catnames`()

    Return a string with the names of input_xy catalog names

  `match`(refimage, quiet_identity, **kwargs)

    Uses xyxymatch to cross-match sources between this catalog and a reference catalog (refCatalog).

  `openFile`(openDQ=False)

    Open file and set up filehandle for image file

  `performFit`(**kwargs)

    Perform a fit between the matched sources.

    Parameters: | kwargs : dict Parameter necessary to perform the fit; namely, fitgeometry.

    Notes

    This task still needs to implement (eventually) interactive iteration of
      the fit to remove outliers.
  `sortSkyCatalog`()

    Sort and clip the source catalog based on the flux range specified by the user. It keeps a copy of the original full list in order to support iteration.

  `transformToRef`(ref_wcs, force=False)

    Transform sky coords from ALL chips into X,Y coords in reference WCS.

  `updateHeader`(wcsname=None, reusename=False)

    Update header of image with shifts computed by perform_fit().

  `writeHeaderlet`(**kwargs)

    Write and/or attach a headerlet based on update to PRIMARY WCS

  `write_fit_catalog`()

    Write out the catalog of all sources and resids used in the final fit.

  `write_outxy`(filename)

    Write out the output(transformed) XY catalog for this image to a file.

  `write_skycatalog`(filename)

    Write out the all_radec catalog for this image to a file.

class `drizzlepac.imgclasses.``RefImage`(wcs_list, catalog, xycatalog=None, cat_origin=None, **kwargs)

  Bases: `object`

  This class provides all the information needed by to define a reference tangent plane and list of source positions on the sky.

  Warning

  When `wcs_list` is a Python list of `WCS` objects, each element must be an instance of `stwcs.wcsutil.HSTWCS`.

  `append_not_matched_sources`(image)
  `clean`()

    Remove intermediate files created

  `clear_dirty_flag`()
  `close`()
  `get_shiftfile_row`()

    Return the information for a shiftfile for this image to provide compatability with the IRAF-based MultiDrizzle.

  `set_dirty`()
  `transformToRef`()

    Transform reference catalog sky positions (self.all_radec) to reference tangent plane (self.wcs) to create output X,Y positions.

  `write_skycatalog`(filename, show_flux=False, show_id=False)

    Write out the all_radec catalog for this image to a file.
