I was plotting celestial sphere with equal area binning. My first intention was making a binning based on the basic calculus knowledge which I learned from 1st year University calculus class. Following is what I made.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def Drawpixel(lm,lM,bm,bM,co,w):
l0=[lm,lM]
b0=[bM,bM]
l1=[lm,lM]
b1=[bm,bm]
l2=[lm,lm]
b2=[bm,bM]
l3=[lM,lM]
b3=[bm,bM]
plt.plot(l0,b0,c=co,linewidth=w)
plt.plot(l1,b1,c=co,linewidth=w)
plt.plot(l2,b2,c=co,linewidth=w)
plt.plot(l3,b3,c=co,linewidth=w)
def Paint(lm,lM,bm,bM,co):
l=[lm,lM]
b1=[bM,bM]
b2=[bm,bm]
plt.fill_between(l,b1,b2,color=co)
plt.subplot(111,projection="aitoff")
plt.title("Equal Binning", fontsize = 30)
co='k'
w=1
for i in range(16):
bM=np.pi/2-np.arccos((8-i)/8)
bm=np.pi/2-np.arccos((7-i)/8)
for j in range(32):
lm=(j-16)/16*np.pi*-1
lM=(j-15)/16*np.pi*-1
Drawpixel(lm,lM,bm,bM,co,w)
ax=plt.gca()
plt.pause(0.1)
ax.set_xticklabels(ax.get_xticklabels()[::-1])
plt.xticks(fontsize=20)
plt.yticks(fontsize=20)
plt.xlabel("L",fontsize=25)
plt.ylabel("B",fontsize=25)
plt.show()
With this I would get something like this
After plotting the plot I made, I learned that there is a binning method named healpix and it would provide equal area binning with different shape. Also I learned that there was a python software named healpy, however, I could not find how could I generate similar plot like above from the healpy instruction. Is there a simple method I can make a plot using healpix? (If there is a simple function supported from healpy, that would be also appreciated.)
