spacepy.pybats.dgcpm.Lslice

class spacepy.pybats.dgcpm.Lslice(filename, *args, **kwargs)

Open an L-Slice output file.

__init__(filename, *args, **kwargs)

Reads the data; sorts into arrays.

Methods

add_ltut([target, loc, cmap, zlim, ...])

Plot log(density) as a contour against local time (y-axis) and universal time (x-axis) using the PyBats target method of other standard plotting methods.

add_ltut(target=None, loc=111, cmap='Greens_r', zlim=[1, 1000], add_cbar=True, clabel='Density $cm^{-3}$', xlabel='full', ylim=[4, 20], title=None, grid=True, ntick=5)

Plot log(density) as a contour against local time (y-axis) and universal time (x-axis) using the PyBats target method of other standard plotting methods. Four items are returned: the Matplotlib Figure, Axes, Mesh, and ColorBar objects used (if cbar is set to False, the returned ColorBar object is simply set to False.)

Kwarg	Description
target	Select plot destination. Defaults to new figure/axis.
loc	The location of any generated subplots. Default is 111.
add_cbar	Toggles the automatic colorbar. Default is**True**.
cmap	Selects Matplotlib color table. Defaults to Greens_r.
zlim	Limits for z-axis. Defaults to [0.1, 1000]
ylim	Sets the MLT range on the y-axis. Defaults to [4,20].
clabel	Sets colorbar label. Defaults to units.
xlabel	Sets x-axis labels, use ‘full’, ‘ticks’, or None.
title	Sets axis title; defaults to None.
grid	Show white dotted grid? Defaults to True
ntick	Number of attempted cbar ticks. Defaults to 5.
