setMatchDistance()

def lsst.meas.astrom.setMatchDistance.setMatchDistance

(

matches

)

Set the distance field of the matches in a match list to the distance in
radians on the sky.

Parameters
----------
matches : `list` of `lsst.afw.table.ReferenceMatch`
    a list of matches, reads the coord field of the source and reference
    object of each match writes the distance field of each match

Notes
-----
.. warning::
   the coord field of the source in each match must be correct
