GeoJSON Contours (ligo-skymap-contour)

Create a contours for the credible levels of an all-sky probability map. The input is a HEALPix probability map. The output is a GeoJSON FeatureCollection (http://geojson.org/).

usage: ligo-skymap-contour [-h] [--version]
                           [-l CRITICAL|ERROR|WARNING|INFO|DEBUG|NOTSET]
