This document describes a new way to organize in a self-consistent way SunPy objects.
| Spatial | Temporal | Spectral | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| SpaceSeries (1d spatial data, e.g. slice from a map) | do not exist | ||
| SpaceSequence (slit spectrogram where x is main axis) | do not exist | ||
| GenericMap | GenericTimeSeries | GenericSpectrum | Base object, X is name of the instrument |
| MapCollection (renames current CompositeMap) | TimeSeriesCollection | SpectrumCollection | a collection of data usually taken at the same time but by different instruments |
| MapSequence (replaces current MapCube, Mapcubed would subclass this) | TimeSeriesSequence (ex. spectrogram where t is main axis) | SpectrumSequence (ex. spectrogram where freq/energy is main exist) | a series of related measurements such as as a function of time (MapSequence) or a function of energy (TimeSeriesSequence) |
