  • If other is numeric, each element of the matrix will be multiplied by that number.

  • If other is another Fits object, element-wise multiplication will be performed.

Parameters

otherUnion[Self, float, int]

Either a Fits object, a float, or an integer.

outputOptional[str]

New path to save the resulting file.

overridebool, optional, default=False

If True, will overwrite the output path if a file already exists.

Returns

Fits

A new Fits object representing the result of the multiplication.

Raises

FileExistsError

4.11.1. Example:

from myraflib import Fits

fits = Fits.sample()
other = Fits.sample()

new_fits_1 = fits.mul(120)
new_fits_2 = fits * 120

new_fits_3 = fits.mul(other)
new_fits_4 = fits * other
