Constructor Detail

DepthSampler

public DepthSampler(double zero,
                    double delta,
                    int n)

Generate an output image with the appropriate pixelization

Note that there is a conflict in the way SkyView originally presented 3-D data. It indicated that one could specify bands 1-10 to get 10 bands, but that is a range of only 9 bands. This would be OK, except that it doesn't translate properly to physical units, i.e. 3000-4000 A. We try to handle all of this consistently now, so a user needs to specify bands 0-10 to get the same range.

Parameters:

zero: - The beginning of the range to be sampled (in depth pixels).

delta: - The size of the output pixels in terms of the input pixels.

n: - The number of output bins.
