astropy 5.0

Parameters
writeto(self, name, output_verify='exception', overwrite=False, checksum=False)

Parameters

name : path-like or file-like

Output FITS file. If the file object is already opened, it must be opened in a writeable mode.

output_verify : str

Output verification option. Must be one of "fix" , "silentfix" , "ignore" , "warn" , or "exception" . May also be any combination of "fix" or "silentfix" with "+ignore" , +warn , or +exception" (e.g. ``"fix+warn" ). See astropy:verify for more info.

overwrite : bool, optional

If True , overwrite the output file if it exists. Raises an OSError if False and the output file exists. Default is False .

versionchanged

overwrite replaces the deprecated clobber argument.

checksum : bool

When :None:None:`True` adds both DATASUM and CHECKSUM cards to the header of the HDU when written to the file.

Write the HDU to a new file. This is a convenience method to provide a user easier output interface if only one HDU needs to be written to a 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
