Visualizing Tables and Catalogs ------------------------------- Tables can be uploaded to the Firefly server with :meth:`FireflyClient.upload_file`, and displayed in a table viewer component with :meth:`FireflyClient.show_table`. The default is to overlay symbols for each row of the table (`is_catalog=True`) if the table contains recognizable celestial coordinates. .. code-block:: py tval = fc.upload_file('m31-2mass-2412-row.tbl') fc.show_table(file_on_server=tval, tbl_id='m31-table') If it is desired to overlay the table on an image, or to make plots from it, without showing the table in the viewer, use :meth:`FireflyClient.fetch_table`: .. code-block:: py fc.fetch_table(file_on_server=tval, tbl_id='invisible-table') If the table does not contain celestial coordinates recognized by Firefly, the image overlay will not appear. BUt if you specifically do not want the table overlaid on the image, `is_catalog=False` can be specified: .. code-block:: py fc.show_table(file_on_server=tval, tbl_id='2mass-tbl', is_catalog=False)
