obspy.taup.tau.plot_ray_paths¶

plot_ray_paths(source_depth, min_degrees=0, max_degrees=360, npoints=10, plot_type='spherical', phase_list=['P', 'S', 'PP'], model='iasp91', plot_all=True, legend=False, label_arrivals=False, verbose=False, fig=None, show=True, ax=None)[source]¶

Plot ray paths for seismic phases.

Parameters:	source_depth (float) Source depth in kilometers. min_degrees (float) minimum distance from the source (in degrees). max_degrees (float) maximum distance from the source (in degrees). npoints (int) Number of receivers to plot. plot_type (str) type of plot to create. Options are ‘spherical’ (default) and ‘cartesian’. phase_list (list of str) List of phase names. model (str) Model name. 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) Whether or not to show the legend 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. verbose (bool) Whether to print information about selected phases that were not encountered at individual epicentral distances. fig (matplotlib.figure.Figure) Figure to plot into. If not given, a new figure instance will be created. show (bool) Show the plot. ax (matplotlib.axes.Axes) Axes to plot in. If not given, a new figure with an axes will be created.
Returns:	Matplotlib axes with the plot
Return type:	matplotlib.axes.Axes

Example

>>> from obspy.taup import plot_ray_paths
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 10), subplot_kw=dict(polar=True))
>>> ax = plot_ray_paths(source_depth=10, ax=ax, fig=fig, legend=True,
...                     phase_list=['P', 'S', 'PP'], verbose=True)
There were rays for all but the following epicentral distances:
 [0.0, 360.0]
