CubeBuildStep

class jwst.cube_build.cube_build_step.CubeBuildStep(name=None, parent=None, config_file=None, _validate_kwds=True, **kws)[source]

Bases: JwstStep

CubeBuildStep: Creates a 3-D spectral cube

Notes

This is the controlling routine for building IFU Spectral Cubes. It loads and sets the various input data and parameters need by the cube_build_step.

This routine does the following operations:

1. Extracts the input parameters from the cubepars reference file and merges them with any user-provided values. 2. Creates the output WCS from the input images and defines the mapping between all the input arrays and the output array 3. Passes the input data to the function to map all thei input data to the output array. 4. Updates the output data model with correct meta data

Create a Step instance.

Parameters:
  • name (str, optional) – The name of the Step instance. Used in logging messages and in cache filenames. If not provided, one will be generated based on the class name.

  • parent (Step instance, optional) – The parent step of this step. Used to determine a fully-qualified name for this step, and to determine the mode in which to run this step.

  • config_file (str path, optional) – The path to the config file that this step was initialized with. Use to determine relative path names of other config files.

  • **kws (dict) – Additional parameters to set. These will be set as member variables on the new Step instance.
