Plotting error box
The API plotting catalogues could be enable to plot individual error boxes for any plotted source.
The API could look like ( just an example, not a requirement)
aladin.plotCatalogue(cat_url, ra_col, dec_col, error_columns=[err_columns]);
error_columns
is an array which dimension denotes the type of error:
-
err_columns=[pos_err]
: plots a circle with the value of the columnpos_err
as radius. -
err_columns=[pos_ra, pos_dec]
: plots a vertical ellipse with the value of the columnpos_ra
andpos_dec
as axes. -
err_columns=[major_axis, minor_axis, angle]
: plots an ellipse withmajor_axis
andminor_axis
as axes oriented followingangle
from the east of the North (convention)
