spacepy.pybats.bats

A PyBats module for handling input, output, and visualization of binary SWMF output files taylored to BATS-R-US-type data.

Classes

Bats2d(filename, *args[, blocksize])	A child class of IdlFile tailored to 2D BATS-R-US output.
BatsLog(filename[, starttime, keep_case])	A specialized version of LogFile that includes special methods for plotting common BATS-R-US log file values, such as D$_{ST}$.
Extraction(x, y, dataset[, var_list])	A class for creating and visualizing extractions from other PbData 2D data sets.
GeoIndexFile(filename[, keep_case])	Geomagnetic Index files are a specialized BATS-R-US output that contain geomagnetic indices calculated from simulated ground-based magnetometers.
Mag(nlines, time[, gmvars, ievars])	A container for data from a single BATS-R-US virtual magnetometer.
MagFile(filename[, ie_name, find_ie])	BATS-R-US magnetometer files are powerful tools for both research and operations.
MagGridFile(*args, **kwargs)	Magnetometer grids are a recent addition to BATS-R-US: instead of specifying a small set of individual stations, the user can specify a grid of many stations spanning a latitude/longitude range.
ShellSlice(filename[, format])	Shell slices are special MHD outputs where the domain is interpolated onto a spherical slice in 1, 2, or 3 dimensions.
Stream(bats, xstart, ystart, xfield, yfield)	A class for streamlines.
VirtSat(*args, **kwargs)	A spacepy.pybats.LogFile object tailored to virtual satellite output; includes special satellite-specific plotting methods.
