firefly-client

firefly_client

Python API for Firefly, IPAC's Advanced Astronomy Web UI Framework

Usage

The client must be connected to a Firefly server. The Firefly repository is located at http://github.com/Caltech-IPAC/firefly. Standalone Firefly servers may be obtained from this Dockerhub repository.

For detailed explanation on the usage, see the online documentation. Following is a very simple example:

from firefly_client import FireflyClient
fc = FireflyClient.make_client()  # can also explictly pass url of a firefly server; default is http://localhost:8080/firefly

A FITS image may be uploaded and displayed:

fval = fc.upload_file('image.fits')
fc.show_fits(fval, 'myimage')

For more examples, check notebooks & python files in the examples and test directories.
