# DynamicMatrixTransform¶

class astropy.coordinates.DynamicMatrixTransform(matrix_func, fromsys, tosys, priority=1, register_graph=None)[source] [edit on github]

A coordinate transformation specified as a function that yields a 3 x 3 cartesian transformation matrix.

This is similar to, but distinct from StaticMatrixTransform, in that the matrix for this class might depend on frame attributes.

Parameters: matrix_func : callable A callable that has the signature matrix_func(fromcoord, toframe) and returns a 3 x 3 matrix that converts fromcoord in a cartesian representation to the new coordinate system. fromsys : class The coordinate frame class to start from. tosys : class The coordinate frame class to transform into. priority : number The priority if this transform when finding the shortest coordinate transform path - large numbers are lower priorities. register_graph : A graph to register this transformation with on creation, or None to leave it unregistered. TypeError If matrix_func is not callable
