Description: ###########
        ligo.skymap
        ###########
        
        The `ligo.skymap` package provides tools for reading, writing, generating, and
        visualizing gravitational-wave probability maps from LIGO and Virgo. Some of
        the key features of this package are:
        
        *  `Command line tool bayestar-localize-coincs`_ and
           `bayestar-localize-lvalert`_: BAYESTAR, providing rapid, coherent, Bayesian,
           3D position reconstruction for compact binary coalescence events
        
        *  `Command line tool ligo-skymap-from-samples`_: Create 3D sky maps from
           posterior sample chains using kernel density estimation
        
        *  `Command line tool ligo-skymap-plot`_: An everyday tool for plotting
           HEALPix maps
        
        *  `Module ligo.skymap.plot`_: Astronomical mapmaking tools for
           perfectionists and figure connoisseurs
        
        To get started, see the `installation instructions`_ or the `full
        documentation`_.

           This illustration of the position of GW170817, prepared using `ligo.skymap`,
           illustrates the main features of this package: rapid localization of compact
           binaries with BAYESTAR [#BAYESTAR]_, three-dimensional density estimation
           [#GoingTheDistance]_ [#GoingTheDistanceSupplement]_, cross-matching with
           galaxy catalogs, and visualization of gravitational-wave sky maps.
