CollectionLoader

class toasty.collection.CollectionLoader

Bases: object

A class defining how to load a collection of images.

This is implemented as its own class since there can be some options involved, and we want to provide a centralized place for handling them all.

For interactive usage, use load(), which is optimized for easy invocation. This class is best used in command-line interfaces that interact with collections of FITS files.
