values_to_high_level_objects#

astropy.wcs.wcsapi.values_to_high_level_objects(*world_values, low_level_wcs)[source]#

Convert low level values into high level objects.

This function uses the information in low_level_wcs.world_axis_object_classes and low_level_wcs.world_axis_object_components to convert low level “values” Quantity objects, to high level objects (such as SkyCoord).

This is used in HighLevelWCSMixin.pixel_to_world, but provided as a separate function for use in other places where needed.

Parameters:
*world_valuesArrayLike

Low level, “values” representations of the world coordinates.

low_level_wcsBaseLowLevelWCS or object

Source of the world axis metadata to use for the conversion. A full BaseLowLevelWCS instance is accepted, but any object exposing world_axis_object_classes and world_axis_object_components attributes also works (for example a types.SimpleNamespace or a namedtuple). The serialized_classes attribute is read if present and otherwise treated as False. This is useful when the metadata for the intended conversion direction does not match what a WCS exposes by default.
