obspy.taup.tau.plot_travel_times

plot_travel_times(source_depth, phase_list=('ttbasic',), min_degrees=0, max_degrees=180, npoints=None, model='iasp91', plot_all=True, legend=True, verbose=False, fig=None, ax=None, show=True)

Returns a travel time plot and any created axis instance of this plot.

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 points to plot. If None, the precomputed times in the TauModel are shown. If an integer, arrivals are calculated at npoints discrete epicentral distances.

• phase_list (list[str], optional) – List of phase names to plot.

• model (str) – string containing the model to use.

• 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

• verbose (bool) – Whether to print information about epicentral distances that did not have an arrival.

• fig (matplotlib.figure.Figure) – Figure to plot into. If not given, a new figure instance will be created.

• ax (matplotlib.axes.Axes) – Axes to plot in. If not given, a new figure with an axes will be created.

• show (bool) – Show the plot.

• ax – 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_travel_times
>>> ax = plot_travel_times(source_depth=10, phase_list=['P', 'S', 'PP'])
