The `ligo.skymap` package provides tools for reading, writing, generating, and
visualizing gravitational-wave probability maps from LIGO and Virgo. It
provides several tools that used to live in `LALSuite
<http://git.ligo.org/lscsoft/lalsuite>`_ and elsewhere, but in the form of a
tiny Python package that is easier to install. Some of the key features of this
package are:

*  `Script bayestar-localize-coincs`_: BAYESTAR, providing rapid,
   coherent, Bayesian, 3D position reconstruction for compact binary
   coalescence events

*  `Script ligo-skymap-from-samples`_: Create 3D sky maps from
   posterior sample chains using kernel density estimation

*  `Script ligo-skymap-plot`_: An everyday tool for plotting
   HEALPix maps

*  `Module ligo.skymap.plot`_: Astronomical mapmaking tools for
   perfectionists and figure connoisseurs
