Check if spectra are plottable

Use the check_spectrum_plottable function to check if a spectrum is loadable by astropy.specutils and plottable. The matplotlib package needs to be installed to display the spectrum using show_plot=True.

from astrodb_utils.spectra import check_spectrum_plottable
file = <path to file>
plottable = check_spectrum_plottable(file, show_plot=True)
print plottable

> True
