astropy 5.0

Parameters
info(filename, output=None, **kwargs)

This includes the name, type, length of header, data shape and type for each extension.

Parameters

filename : path-like or file-like

FITS file to obtain info from. If opened, mode must be one of the following: rb, rb+, or ab+ (i.e. the file must be readable).

output : file, bool, optional

A file-like object to write the output to. If False , does not output to a file and instead returns a list of tuples representing the HDU info. Writes to sys.stdout by default.

kwargs :

Any additional keyword arguments to be passed to astropy.io.fits.open . Note: This function sets ignore_missing_end=True by default.

Print the summary information on a FITS file.

Examples

See :

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
