Project: Update LSST Focal plane plot #202

Closed kadrlica closed 3 years ago

kadrlica commented 5 years ago

This started as a hack at the LSST DESC meeting, but I think it would be a good example of how to access the LSST Camera geometry.

The basic idea is to update this figure, which is a well-designed visualization of the camera, but is not represented in the DM coordinate system.

The suggested DM camera interface looks something like this:

import lsst.afw.cameraGeom.utils as cgUtils
camera = butler.get('camera')
cgUtils.plotFocalPlane(camera)

The idea would be to write a notebook that generates an easy to understand visualization of the LSST camera layout.
