Generate HEALPix map from HiPS #120

Open tboch opened 6 years ago

tboch commented 6 years ago

Given a HiPS, it's quite easy to generate a HEALPix map, using the low-level tiles. The needed code is already present in this gist: https://gist.github.com/tboch/f68cd1bb1529d8ac12184b40e54ba692

This would be wonderful to have! Let's try to move that code into the hips package and add a docs example.

(and the other direction too: given a HEALPix, make tiles, see #119 )
