healpy.visufunc.cartview

healpy.visufunc.cartview(map=None, fig=None, rot=None, zat=None, coord=None, unit='', xsize=800, ysize=None, lonra=None, latra=None, title='Cartesian view', nest=False, remove_dip=False, remove_mono=False, gal_cut=0, min=None, max=None, flip='astro', format='%.3g', cbar=True, cmap=None, badcolor='gray', bgcolor='white', norm=None, aspect=None, hold=False, sub=None, reuse_axes=False, margins=None, notext=False, return_projected_map=False, alpha=None)

Plot a healpix map (given as an array) in Cartesian projection.

Parameters:
mapfloat, array-like or None

An array containing the map, supports masked maps, see the ma function. If None, will display a blank map, useful for overplotting.

figint or None, optional

The figure number to use. Default: create a new figure

rotscalar or sequence, optional

Describe the rotation to apply. In the form (lon, lat, psi) (unit: degrees) : the point at longitude lon and latitude lat will be at the center. An additional rotation of angle psi around this direction is applied.

coordsequence of character, optional

Either one of ‘G’, ‘E’ or ‘C’ to describe the coordinate system of the map, or a sequence of 2 of these to rotate the map from the first to the second coordinate system.

unitstr, optional

A text describing the unit of the data. Default: ‘’

xsizeint, optional

The size of the image. Default: 800

lonrasequence, optional

Range in longitude. Default: [-180,180]

latrasequence, optional

Range in latitude. Default: [-90,90]

titlestr, optional

The title of the plot. Default: ‘Mollweide view’

nestbool, optional

If True, ordering scheme is NESTED. Default: False (RING)

minfloat, optional

The minimum range value

maxfloat, optional

The maximum range value

flip{‘astro’, ‘geo’}, optional

Defines the convention of projection : ‘astro’ (default, east towards left, west towards right) or ‘geo’ (east towards roght, west towards left)

remove_dipbool, optional

If True, remove the dipole+monopole

remove_monobool, optional

If True, remove the monopole

gal_cutfloat, scalar, optional

Symmetric galactic cut for the dipole/monopole fit. Removes points in latitude range [-gal_cut, +gal_cut]

formatstr, optional

The format of the scale label. Default: ‘%g’

cbarbool, optional

Display the colorbar. Default: True

notextbool, optional

If True, no text is printed around the map

norm{‘hist’, ‘log’, None}, optional

Color normalization, hist= histogram equalized color mapping, log= logarithmic color mapping, default: None (linear color mapping)

cmapa color map

The colormap to use (see matplotlib.cm)

badcolorstr

Color to use to plot bad values

bgcolorstr

Color to use for background

holdbool, optional

If True, replace the current Axes by a CartesianAxes. use this if you want to have multiple maps on the same figure. Default: False

subint, scalar or sequence, optional

Use only a zone of the current figure (same syntax as subplot). Default: None

reuse_axesbool, optional

If True, reuse the current Axes (should be a CartesianAxes). This is useful if you want to overplot with a partially transparent colormap, such as for plotting a line integral convolution. Default: False

marginsNone or sequence, optional

Either None, or a sequence (left,bottom,right,top) giving the margins on left,bottom,right and top of the axes. Values are relative to figure (0-1). Default: None

return_projected_mapbool

if True returns the projected map in a 2d numpy array

alphafloat, array-like or None

An array containing the alpha channel, supports masked maps, see the ma function. If None, no transparency will be applied.
