GridMapDisplay.plot_grid_raw(field, level=0, vmin=None, vmax=None, norm=None, cmap=None, mask_outside=False, title=None, title_flag=True, colorbar_flag=True, colorbar_label=None, colorbar_orient='vertical', ax=None, fig=None, alpha=None, ticks=None, ticklabs=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Plot the grid using xarray and cartopy.

Additional arguments are passed to Xarray’s pcolormesh function.

This function does not project the data into a map

Parameters:

  • field (str) – Field to be plotted.

  • level (int) – Index corresponding to the height level to be plotted.

Other Parameters:

  • vmin, vmax (float) – Lower and upper range for the colormesh. If either parameter is None, a value will be determined from the field attributes (if available) or the default values of -8, 64 will be used. Parameters are used for luminance scaling.

  • norm (Normalize or None, optional) – matplotlib Normalize instance used to scale luminance data. If not None the vmax and vmin parameters are ignored. If None, vmin and vmax are used for luminance scaling.

  • cmap (str or None) – Matplotlib colormap name. None will use default colormap for the field being plotted as specified by the Py-ART configuration.

  • mask_outside (bool) – True to mask data outside of vmin, vmax. False performs no masking.

  • title (str) – Title to label plot with, None will use the default generated from the field and level parameters. Parameter is ignored if the title_flag is False.

  • title_flag (bool) – True to add title to plot, False does not add a title.

  • colorbar_flag (bool) – True to add a colorbar with label to the axis. False leaves off the colorbar.

  • colorbar_label (str) – Colorbar label, None will use a default label generated from the field information.

  • colorbar_orient (‘vertical’ or ‘horizontal’) – Colorbar orientation.

  • ax (Axis) – Axis to plot on. None will use the current axis.

  • fig (Figure) – Figure to add the colorbar to. None will use the current figure.

  • alpha (float or None) – Set the alpha transparency of the grid plot. Useful for overplotting radar over other datasets.

  • ticks (array) – Colorbar custom tick label locations.

  • ticklabs (array) – Colorbar custom tick labels.
