:class:`FrameSet` --- A set of frames
-------------------------------------
The :class:`FrameSet` class is designed to load and store measurement data from a set of photometry
files. A frame set is given to methods that produce various outputs, i.e. light curve.
.. class:: FrameSet(stars, apertures)
A constructor which creates a new empty frame set.
The *stars* argument is a list of (reference) identifiers of stars which shall
be loaded from photometry files. The *apertures* argument is a list of aperture identifiers for
which the data shall be loaded from photometry files. Both these parameters are used to speed up
the processing and reduce memory consumption, because in many cases it is not neccesary to hold
data for all objects and apertures in the memory.
A :class:`FrameSet` object has the following attributes related to the whole frame set:
.. attribute:: object
A tuple consisting of object's designation, right ascension in hours
and declination in degrees.
.. attribute:: location
A tuple consisting of designation of observer's location, observer's
longitude in degrees and latitude in degrees.
.. attribute:: frames
A list of all frame identifiers. [read-only]
.. attribute:: stars
A list of all object identifiers. [read-only]
.. attribute:: apertures
A list of all aperture identifiers. [read-only]
The following attributes related to the active frame. They return None if no frame is active.
.. attribute:: frame_id
Identifier of the current frame.
.. attribute:: date_time
Date and time of observation. The DateTime instance.
.. attribute:: julian_date
Julian date of observation.
.. attribute:: filter
Color filter designation
.. attribute:: offset
A tuple consisting of frame offset in x and y coordinates respectively
with respect to the reference frame.
A :class:`FrameSet` object has the following methods related to the whole frame set:
.. staticmethod:: import(filename)
Load a read-all file specified by its path as *filename* argument. It returns a new
:class:`FrameSet` object.
.. staticmethod:: test(filename)
The method returns True if the file, specified as its argument, is a read-all file.
If the specified file does not exist or it was not recognized as a photometry file,
the False value is returned.
.. method:: export(filename)
The method writes a frame set to a read-all file. Please note, that the
read-all file cannot keep exact copy of the frame set, so if you save the frame
set to a file and load it back, you won't get the same information.
.. method:: clear()
The method delete all frames from the frame set.
.. method:: rewind()
The method makes a first frame in the set active. It returns True on
success or False if the frame set is empty.
.. method:: next()
The method makes active a frame after the active frame. It returns True
on success or False if the active frame was the last one.
.. method:: go_to(id)
The method finds a frame by its identifier, specified as an argument.
On success, it makes the frame active and returns True. Otherwise, no frame
will be active and the method returns False.
.. method:: append(id, file)
The method appends a new frame into the frame set. The *id* argument
can be a non-negative integer number which will be used to identify the frame,
the *file* argument is a PhtFile object which the data are read from. On success,
the method returns True and the frame is made active.
.. method:: light_curve(variable, comparison, aperture)
Create a light curve. The method returns a list of tuples, each tuple corresponds
to one frame. Tuples consist of Julian date of observation, differential magnitude
of the variable star with respect to the comparison star and error estimation of the
magnitude.
The *variable* argument specify an indentification number of the variable star.
The *comparison* argument specify an indentification number of the comparison star.
The *aperture* argument specify identification number of the aperture
.. method:: light_curve2(variable, comparison, aperture)
The same as :meth:`light_curve`, but returns a dictionary where the keys are
frame identifiers and values are tuples described above.
.. method:: track_list()
Create a list of frame offsets. The methods returns a list of tuples, each tuple corresponds
to one frame. Tuples consist of Julian date of observation and offset in X and Y axis.
.. method:: track_list2()
The same as :meth:`track_list`, but returns a dictionary where the keys are
frame identifiers and values are tuples described above.
.. method:: magdev_curve(aperture, [clipping[, comparison]])
The method returns a tuple. The first item is a identifier of the comparison
star. The second item is a list of tuples, each item corresponds to an object.
Tuples consist of object identifier, its mean brightness and sample deviation.
The following methods related to the active frame:
.. method:: delete()
The method removes the current frame from the frame set. A frame which follows
the removed frame (if any) is made active.
.. method:: get_mag(star, aperture)
The method takes a star identifier and an aperture identifier as its
arguments and it returns a tuple that consists of magnitude and error estimation
from the current frame.
If magnitude or error is undefined, the corresponding item in the tuple is None.
If the object or the aperture is undefined or no frame is active, the function returns None. If the
object and aperture exists, but either the magnitude or the error estimation
is not known, the function return a tuple, but corresponding item is None.
.. method:: get_all(aperture)
The method takes an aperture identifier as its arguments and it returns
a dictionary. The keys are star identifiers, the values are tuples that consists
of magnitudes and error estimations. If the aperture does not exist or no frame
is active, it returns None. If either the magnitude or the error estimation is not
known, the corresponding item in the tuple is None.
