# AsinhStretch¶

class astropy.visualization.AsinhStretch(a=0.1)[source]

An asinh stretch.

The stretch is given by:

$y = \frac{{\rm asinh}(x / a)}{{\rm asinh}(1 / a)}.$
Parameters: a : float, optional The a parameter used in the above formula. The value of this parameter is where the asinh curve transitions from linear to logarithmic behavior, expressed as a fraction of the normalized image. Must be in the range between 0 and 1. Default is 0.1

__call__(values, clip=True, out=None)[source]

Transform values using this stretch.

Parameters: values : array-like The input values, which should already be normalized to the [0:1] range. clip : bool, optional If True (default), values outside the [0:1] range are clipped to the [0:1] range. out : ndarray, optional If specified, the output values will be placed in this array (typically used for in-place calculations). result : ndarray The transformed values.
