K2flix v2.4.0

v2.4.0 adds support for TESS target pixel files.

v2.3.0

• Adds the --stretch option to specify the contrast stretching function (e.g. log or linear).
• Ensures that matplotlib's default contrast stretching i.e. normalization isn't used.

v2.2.0

• Adds support for simulated TESS data.
• Adds the --binning option for co-adding multiple cadences.
• Adds the --verbose option for printing debugging output.
• Minor bugfixes: 9aca3c3, f0a78a6.

v2.1.0

• Adds the --min_cut and --max_cut options to the k2flix command-line tool to offer more control over contrast stretching.
• Restores support for numpy 1.8 and below [cf. issue #6]

v2.0.0

K2flix v2.0.0 changes the API to enable the --start and --stop arguments to be specified in Julian Date (JD), Modified Julian Date (MJD), Kepler Barycentric Julian Date (KBKD), and Cadence number (CADENCENO). This makes it easier to use k2flix to inspect the pixel data for a specific interval in time, e.g. corresponding to an unexpected dip or peak in a lightcurve.

The interpretation of the --start and --stop arguments is determined by the presence of the --jd, --mjd, --bkjd, or --cadence flag. If none of these flags are set, the --start and --stop argument is simply interpreted as the frame number as before (0-#frames).

v1.1.0

New features:

• Enables the uncalibrated pixel data to be shown using the --raw option.
• Enables quality flags to be annotated using the --flags option.
• Enables different time systems to be shown using the --jd, --mjd, --bjd, --bkjd, and --cadence options.

Bugfixes:

• Ensure that the frame height is divisible by 2, as required by libx264.

K2flix v1.0.0

K2flix creates beautiful quicklook movies from the pixel data observed by NASA's Kepler spacecraft. This is the first release.
