********************
Subarray Description
********************

The `SubarrayDescription` class holds info about the list of telescopes in an
array or subarray and  the position on the ground of each. Internally these
are stored as dicts by ``tel_id``.

You can get a quick look at an array with the `SubarrayDescription.info()`
and `SubarrayDescription.peek()` methods

You can also convert them to `astropy.table.Table` objects using
`SubarrayDescription.to_table()`, which can then be saved to disk or
manipulated.
