plots

plots: This module provides various plotting routines that ensure we display our spatially referenced data in logical, consistant ways across projects.

display

wtools.plots.display(plt, arr, **kwargs)

This provides a convienant class for plotting 2D arrays that avoids treating our data like images. Since most datasets we work with are defined on Cartesian coordinates, <i,j,k> == <x,y,z>, we need to transpose our arrays before plotting in image plotting libraries like matplotlib.

Parameters:

• plt (handle) – your active plotting handle
• arr (np.ndarray) – A 2D array to plot
• kwargs (dict) – Any kwargs to pass to the pcolor plotting routine

Returns:

plt.pcolor

Example

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> arr = np.arange(1000).reshape((10,100))
>>> wtools.display(plt, arr)
>>> plt.title('What we actually want')
>>> plt.colorbar()
>>> plt.show()
