obspy.imaging.spectrogram.spectrogram¶

spectrogram(data, samp_rate, per_lap=0.9, wlen=None, log=False, outfile=None, fmt=None, axes=None, dbscale=False, mult=8.0, cmap=<matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap object at 0x43166aac>, zorder=None, title=None, show=True, sphinx=False, clip=[0.0, 1.0])[source]¶

Computes and plots spectrogram of the input data.

Parameters:

Parameters:	data Input data samp_rate (float) Samplerate in Hz per_lap (float) Percentage of overlap of sliding window, ranging from 0 to 1. High overlaps take a long time to compute. wlen (int or float) Window length for fft in seconds. If this parameter is too small, the calculation will take forever. If None, it defaults to (samp_rate/100.0). log (bool) Logarithmic frequency axis if True, linear frequency axis otherwise. outfile (str) String for the filename of output file, if None interactive plotting is activated. fmt (str) Format of image to save axes (`matplotlib.axes.Axes`) Plot into given axes, this deactivates the fmt and outfile option. dbscale (bool) If True 10 * log10 of color values is taken, if False the sqrt is taken. mult (float) Pad zeros to length mult * wlen. This will make the spectrogram smoother. cmap (`matplotlib.colors.Colormap`) Specify a custom colormap instance. If not specified, then the default ObsPy sequential colormap is used. zorder (float) Specify the zorder of the plot. Only of importance if other plots in the same axes are executed. title (str) Set the plot title show (bool) Do not call plt.show() at end of routine. That way, further modifications can be done to the figure before showing it. sphinx (bool) Internal flag used for API doc generation, default False clip ([float, float]) adjust colormap to clip at lower and/or upper end. The given percentages of the amplitude range (linear or logarithmic depending on option dbscale) are clipped.

outfile (str) String for the filename of output file, if None interactive plotting is activated.
fmt (str) Format of image to save
axes (matplotlib.axes.Axes) Plot into given axes, this deactivates the fmt and outfile option.
dbscale (bool) If True 10 * log10 of color values is taken, if False the sqrt is taken.
