plot_fieldlines¶

synthesizAR.visualize.plot_fieldlines(*coords, image_map=None, observer=None, check_visible=False, draw_grid=True, axes_limits=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Plot fieldlines on the surface of the Sun

Parameters:

coords (SkyCoord) –
image_map (Map, optional) – Map to overplot the field lines on top of. Useful when the field lines are derived from a magnetic field extrapolation or when we want to overlay fieldlines on an EUV image.
observer (SkyCoord, optional) – Position of the observer. If None, defaults to position of Earth at the current time. If image_map is specified, this argument has no effect and the observer will be the observer as defined by the HPC coordinate frame of the image_map.
check_visible (bool, optional) – If True, mask coordinates that are obscured by the solar disk.
draw_grid (bool, optional) – If True, draw the HGS grid
axes_limits (tuple, optional) – Tuple of world coordinates (axis1, axis2)
plot_kwargs (dict) – Additional parameters to pass to plot when drawing field lines.
grid_kwargs (dict) – Additional parameters to pass to draw_grid
imshow_kwargs (dict) – Additional parameters to pass to plot
