chaosmagpy.plot_utils.plot_maps

chaosmagpy.plot_utils.plot_maps(theta_grid, phi_grid, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Plots global maps of the input arguments.

Parameters:
theta_gridndarray

Array containing the colatitude in degrees.

phi_gridndarray

Array containing the longitude in degrees.

*argsndarray

Array of values to plot on the global map. Several arrays can be provided as separated arguments.

Other Parameters:
figsize2-tuple of floats

Figure dimension (width, height) in inches.

titleslist of strings

Subplot titles (defaults to empty strings).

labelstring

Colorbar label (defaults to an empty string).

layout2-tuple of int

Layout of the subplots (defaults to vertically stacked subplots).

cmapstr

Colormap code (defaults to 'PuOr_r' colormap).

limiterfunction, lambda expression

Function to compute symmetric colorbar limits (defaults to maximum of the absolute values in the input, or use 'vmin', 'vmax' keywords instead).

projectionstr

Projection of the target frame (defaults to ‘mollweide’).

**kwargskeywords

Other options to pass to matplotlib pcolormesh() method.

Notes

You may need to call matplotlib plt.show() to actually show the plot. For more customization get access to the figure and axes handles through matplotlib by using fig = plt.gcf() and axes = fig.axes right after the call to this plotting method.
