:class:`Flat` --- Flat correction
---------------------------------
The :class:`Flat` class applies a flat correction to a CCD frame. The constructor is
used to create a context that keeps a flat frame and configuration parameters. The
correction is applied by calling :meth:`apply` or :meth:`modify` methods.
.. class:: Flat(from, [border, [minvalue, [maxvalue]]])
Constructor for the Flat class, which stores a flat frame and
parameters required to apply the flat correction to a CCD frame.
The *from* argument must be a :class:`CCDFile` object and it is a flat
frame.
The *border* argument can be used to exclude a certain number of pixels
along sides of the frame. Pixels in border area will be set to *minvalue* in the
output file. The value should be a tuple of four integer numbers which specify
the size of the left, top, right and bottom border in that order. If not used,
the border is not applied.
The *minvalue* argument can be used to specify a value that
indicates "bad" pixels. The default is 0.
The *maxvalue* argument can be used to specify a value that
indicates "overexposed" pixels. The default is 65535.
A :class:`Flat` object has the following read-only attributes:
.. attribute: border
Tuple of four integer numbers which specify the size of the left,
top, right and bottom border in that order
.. attribute:: minvalue
Pixel value that indicates "bad" pixels.
.. attribute:: maxvalue
Pixel value that indicates "overexposed" pixels.
An :class:`Flat` instance has the following methods:
.. method:: apply(source)
Apply flat correction to a :class:`CCDFile` object given in the 'source' argument.
The output frame is returned as a new :class:`CCDFile` object.
.. method:: modify(frame)
Apply flat correction to a :class:`CCDFile` object given in the 'frame' argument.
Unlike the apply method, the output data are written to the given object. The
:class:`CCDFile` object must be writable. The function returns True on success.
