obspy.taup.tau.Arrivals.plot_rays¶
- Arrivals.plot_rays(phase_list=None, plot_type='spherical', plot_all=True, legend=False, label_arrivals=False, show=True, fig=None, ax=None)[source]¶
Plot ray paths if any have been calculated.
Parameters: - phase_list (list of str) List of phases for which ray paths are plotted, if they exist. See `Phase naming in taup`_ for details on phase naming and convenience keys like 'ttbasic'. Defaults to 'ttall'.
- plot_type (str) Either "spherical" or "cartesian". A spherical plot is always global whereas a Cartesian one can also be local.
- plot_all (bool) By default all rays, even those travelling in the other direction and thus arriving at a distance of 360 - x degrees are shown. Set this to False to only show rays arriving at exactly x degrees.
- legend (bool or str) If boolean, specify whether or not to show the legend (at the default location.) If a str, specify the location of the legend. If you are plotting a single phase, you may consider using the label_arrivals argument.
- label_arrivals (bool) Label the arrivals with their respective phase names. This setting is only useful if you are plotting a single phase as otherwise the names could be large and possibly overlap or clip. Consider using the legend parameter instead if you are plotting multiple phases.
- show (bool) Show the plot.
- fig (matplotlib.figure.Figure) Figure to plot in. If not given, a new figure will be created.
- ax (matplotlib.axes.Axes) Axes to plot in. If not given, a new figure with an axes will be created. Must be a polar axes for the spherical plot and a regular one for the Cartesian plot.
Returns: Matplotlib axes with the plot
