IPython FITS file plotting problem

Dear all,

I am facing a problem while running a script ( please find the attached
files - I am attaching both the ipython notebook version and also the python
script ).

I am trying to plot an array of values, write it into a FITS file format,
read it back again and plot it ---> I don't get the same plots!

I shall be highly obliged if you can kindly help me with this.

The following are the versions of my packages and compiler:

matplotlib : '2.0.0b1'

numpy : '1.11.0'

astropy : u'1.1.2'

python : 2.7

Sincerely,
Anik Halder

I can reproduce your issue with matplotlib 2 beta1 but not with 1.51, See
https://gist.github.com/jenshnielsen/86d4a86d8f667fadddc09f88c5fb87e6 I
think this relates to the dtype of the data (see the last two cells of my
notebook) can you open an issue for this at github? It seems like the fits
data is converted from float32 to big endian float8.

Sure. The bug report is up at at

In the mean time you can either switch to 1.5.x or change the code to

plt.imshow(Z_read.astype('<f8'), origin = "lower")

Hi Jens,

Thank you so very much for your help.

Unfortunately I'm really am not too familiar with github. Will it be
possible for you to open a discussion there and send me the link?

Will be very obliged if you could do so.

Thank you once again,

Anik
