Add method to set sentinel values

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Ideas:

1. `hmap.update_values_pos/pix` with value set to None sets sentinal
2. make the sentinal public so we can send value to the above
3. `hmap.set_to_sentinal(pixels or indices?)`  # new method

The reason sentinel isn't public is because of the way it interacts with recarray type maps. Though I think I should probably make the value public anyway.

As a matter of convenience, I think that option 1 makes sense to me as a way of saying "unset these pixels".

fine with me

Fixed in #138
