******************************************
HiPS2fits Service (`astroquery.hips2fits`)
******************************************

Getting started
===============

Query the `CDS hips2fits service <http://alasky.u-strasbg.fr/hips-image-services/hips2fits>`_

The `CDS hips2fits service <http://alasky.u-strasbg.fr/hips-image-services/hips2fits>`_ offers a way
to extract FITS images from HiPS sky maps. HiPS is an IVOA standard that combines individual images in
order to produce a progressive hierarchical sky map describing the whole survey. Please refer to the
`IVOA paper <http://www.ivoa.net/documents/HiPS/20170519/REC-HIPS-1.0-20170519.pdf>`_ for more info.

Given an astropy user-defined WCS with a HiPS name,
hips2fits will return you the corresponding FITS image (JPG/PNG output formats are also implemented).

See the list of valid HiPS names hosted in CDS `here <http://aladin.unistra.fr/hips/list>`_. It is also
possible to use :meth:`astroquery.cds.CdsClass.find_datasets` to retrieve the list of HiPSes matching an expression
(e.g. \*HST\* will return the names of the HST surveys HiPSes).

This package implements two methods:

* :meth:`~astroquery.hips2fits.hips2fitsClass.query_with_wcs` extracting a FITS image from a HiPS and an astropy ``wcs.WCS``.
    See `here <http://aladin.unistra.fr/hips/list>`_ all the valid HiPS names hosted in CDS.
* :meth:`~astroquery.hips2fits.hips2fitsClass.query` extracting a FITS image from a HiPS given the output image pixel size, the center of projection, the type of projection and the field of view.
    See `here <http://aladin.unistra.fr/hips/list>`_ all the valid HiPS names hosted in CDS.
