Counting values Some distance from the center of a circular area in Python
I have a list of points that describe all the pixels in the image shown by me. However, you only need to count the pixels in the circular area. I understand how to do this if the area was a square, but trying to do it with a circle got a bit stuck.
Here's what I have so far:
#Count the photons within a certain region
from collections import Counter
#Read in Data
RA = []
DEC = []
with open('ChandraXraysources2.txt') as f:
for row in f.readlines():
row.strip('\n')
if not row.startswith("#"):
spaces=row.split(',')
RA.append(float(spaces[0]))
DEC.append(float(spaces[1]))
list_a = RA
list_b = DEC
coord_list=zip(list_a, list_b)
#This is the most important part I think. Above is just reading my data in.
#Basically what I tried to do was specify the center of the circle, then count
#only the points a certain distance from that center.
points=[]
[(x,y) for x,y in coord_list if x==3984.9634 and y==4146.6652]
if i in coord_list:
d in 5664.85124
points.append(i)
+3
