CartesianRepresentation

class astropy.coordinates.CartesianRepresentation(x, y=None, z=None, copy=True)

Bases: astropy.coordinates.BaseRepresentation

Representation of points in 3D cartesian coordinates.

Parameters:

x, y, z : Quantity

The x, y, and z coordinates of the point(s). If x, y, and z have different shapes, they should be broadcastable.

copy : bool, optional

If True arrays will be copied rather than referenced.
