# RepresentationMapping

class astropy.coordinates.RepresentationMapping(reprname, framename, defaultunit='recommended')

  Bases: `RepresentationMapping`

  This `namedtuple` is used with the `frame_specific_representation_info` attribute to tell frames what attribute names (and default units) to use for a particular representation. `reprname` and `framename` should be strings, while `defaultunit` can be either an astropy unit, the string `'recommended'` (which is degrees for Angles, nothing otherwise), or None (to indicate that no unit mapping should be done).
