How to add custom (or system) fonts to matplotlib on OS X

Matplotlib expects to find .ttf fonts on your system. Newer versions of OS X use .dfont files. Converting them is easy, and putting them in a proper font path is also easy. The user font path on OS X is ~/Library/Fonts/, and matplotlib will find fonts here.

1. First, install what you'll need:

• matplotlib
• fondu (port install fondu, or brew install fondu)

2. Then find your desired font file. For system font files, the easiest way to do this is in the FontBook application. You can open FontBook in your utlities folder. Then select your font of choice, right click on it, and select "Show in Finder". You'll need to know where it is. Many system fonts are in places like /System/Library/Fonts/...
3. Move to your user's font directory ~/Library/Fonts/.
4. Use fondu to convert the OS-X specific font file (ends with .dfont) to .ttf.

Telemetry recorder tools.

The interface for the telemetry recorder is only available in the ShaneAO command line interface for now. Please use the box next to the >>> symbol in ShaneAO to enter telemetry commands.

The telemetry recorder will:

• Only record closed loop telemetry when the system appears settled.
• Only start once the user calls telemetry.start().

"""OSIRIS Datacubes have axes which are (WAVE, RA, DEC) in FITS files. Most programs
for reading and analyzing data cubes expect to have axes which are (RA, DEC, ...).
This script moves the (RA, DEC) axes to the front of the data cube.

The data is transformed using :func:`numpy.rollaxis` and the WCS solution is transformed
using :meth:`~astropy.wcs.WCS.reorient_celestial_first`. All other FITS header keywords
remain unchanged.
