pyrad.graph.plot_ppi_contour(radar, field_name, ind_el, prdcfg, fname_list, contour_values=None, linewidths=1.5, ax=None, fig=None, save_fig=True)[source]#

plots contour data on a PPI

Parameters:

radar (Radar object) – object containing the radar data to plot
field_name (str) – name of the radar field to plot
ind_el (int) – sweep index to plot
prdcfg (dict) – dictionary containing the product configuration
fname_list (list of str) – list of names of the files where to store the plot
contour_values (float array) – list of contours to plot
linewidths (float) – width of the contour lines
fig (Figure) – Figure to add the contour to. If none a new figure will be created
ax (Axis) – Axis to plot on. if fig is None a new axis will be created
save_fig (bool) – if true save the figure if false it does not close the plot and returns the handle to the figure

Returns:

fname_list (list of str or)
fig, ax (tupple) – list of names of the saved plots or handle of the figure an axes
