This module defines the ImPlot class.

class admit.util.ImPlot.ImPlot(pmode=None, ptype=None, figno=None, abspath='')[source]

Basic ADMIT image plotter that uses casa calls to create figures.

  • uses CASA imview
  • plot modes and plot types as in util.PlotControl
  • keeps track of figure number
  • make thumbnails if requested

Image plotter

Parameters:

figname : str

Root of output file name. An extension matching the plot type will be appended. For instance, for, figname=’fig’ and plottype=PlotControl.PNG, the output file is ‘fig.png’

rasterfile : str

Image file to use as raster map. Optional if contourfile is given.

contourfile : str

Image file to use as contour map. Contours will be overlaid on rasterfile if both are given. Optional if rasterfile is given.

colorwedge : boolean

True - show color wedge, False - don’t show color wedge

thumbnail : boolean

If True, create a thumbnail when creating an output figure. Thumbnails will have ‘_thumb’ appended for file root. For instance, if the output file is ‘fig.png’, the thumbnail will be ‘fig_thumb.png’. Note: only PNG format is currently supported (matplotlib restriction, Exception raised otherwise).

zoom : int

Image zoom ratio.
Returns:

None
