pyrad.graph.plot_dda_slice#
- pyrad.graph.plot_dda_slice(grid, bg_field_name, slice_type, level, prdcfg, fname_list, titl=None, alpha=None, ax=None, fig=None, display=None, save_fig=True, display_type='quiver', wind_vectors='hor')[source]#
This procedure plots a cross section of wind vectors from wind fields generated by PyDDA in the X-Z plane at a specified latitude or longitude
Parameters
- bg_field_namestr
name of the background radar field to plot (behind the wind vectors)
- slice_typestr
type of slice, can be either “latitude” or “longitude”
- levelint
slicing level in latitudinal or longitudinal direction
- prdcfgdict
dictionary containing the product configuration
- fname_listlist of str
list of names of the files where to store the plot
- titlstr
Plot title
- alphafloat or None
Set the alpha transparency of the grid plot. Useful for overplotting radar over other datasets.
- axAxis
Axis to plot on. if fig is None a new axis will be created
- figFigure
Figure to add the colorbar to. If none a new figure will be created
- displayGridMapDisplay object
The display used
- save_figbool
if true save the figure. If false it does not close the plot and returns the handle to the figure
- display_typestr
Display type for the wind vectors, can be either ‘quiver’, ‘barbs’ or ‘streamline’
- wind_vectorsstr
‘hor’ if horizontal wind vectors are displayed (u and v) or ‘ver’ if vertical wind vectors are displayed (u and w) for latitude slice and (v and w) for longitude slice
- Returns:
fname_list (list of str or)
fig, ax, display (tupple) – list of names of the saved plots or handle of the figure an axes
