PlasmaCalcs.plotting.faceplot.Faceplot

class PlasmaCalcs.plotting.faceplot.Faceplot(data, *, coords=None, t=None, ax=None, init_plot=True, add_colorbar=UNSET, add_labels=True, **kw_super)

Bases: MoviePlotNode

MoviePlotNode of a faceplot.
stores a FaceplotPlotElement, and updates it for each frame of the movie.
“faceplot” refers to 3  plots on 3 faces of a box in 3D.

Troubleshooting colors? Try providing vmin, vmax, & levels, explicitly!

data: dictlike with keys ‘x_y’, ‘x_z’, ‘y_z’, or an xarray.DataArray.: 2D arrays of data to plot on the faces. E.g. ‘x_z’ data goes on the x-z face.

xarray.DataArray –> infer faces via isel z=0, y=0, and x=0, respectively.
coords: None or dictlike with keys ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’: 1D coordinate arrays along each dimension.

If None, infer from data[‘x’], data[‘y’], data[‘z’].
t: None, str, or int: the array dimension which frames will index. E.g. ‘time’.

None –> infer it via infer_movie_dim(data[‘x_y’].dims, t).

str –> name of time dimension. And, data should be xarray object(s).

int –> index of time dimension. And, data should be dict of numpy arrays.
init_plot: bool (default: True): whether to call self.init_plot() immediately, during __init__.

(as a PlotSetting: tells the value of init_plot passed during __init__.)

False –> still must call self.init_plot() before using self(…) or self.updater(…)

(end-user will probably never use init_plot=False; it’s mostly for internal code.)

(might use False if creating MovieImage before defining the associated Axes.)
add_colorbar: UNSET or bool (default: UNSET): if provided, default for add_colorbar when making xarray plots.
add_labels: bool (default: True): whether to add labels to xarray plots.
title: UNSET, None, or str (default: UNSET): title for a single axes/subplot. For xarrays, will title.format(**xarray_nondim_coords(array)).

(Note: plot_settings[‘title’] should always be the ‘base’ title, before title.format(…))

UNSET –> use array_at_current_frame._title_for_slice().

None –> do not add a title.
title_font: UNSET, None, or str (default: UNSET): font for title, e.g. ‘serif’, ‘sans-serif’, or ‘monospace’

UNSET –> use DEFAULTS.PLOT.MOVIE_TITLE_FONT (default: monospace).

None –> use matplotlib default.
title_y: UNSET, None, or number (default: UNSET): y position for title, in axes coordinates.
title_kw: UNSET, or dict (default: UNSET): any additional kwargs for plt.title.

To view or adjust plot settings in self, see self.plot_settings, or help(self.plot_settings).

add_child(child): adds this child (a Tree) to self.children. Also, child.set_parent(self).

returns the added child.

property ani: alias to get_animator

property ax: mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.axes3d.Axes3D where this Faceplot is plotted.

property depth: number of layers above self. (parent, parent’s parents, etc.)

depth = 0 for the node with parent = None.

display(show_depth=None, max_depth=None, *, shorthand=None)

display self in html. Includes self.html() and DEFAULTS.TREE_CSS.

show_depth: None or int: max number of layers of tree to show by default (i.e. “not hidden” by default)

None –> use self.DEFAULT_TREE_SHOW_DEPTH if defined else DEFAULTS.TREE_SHOW_DEPTH
max_depth: None or int: max number of layers of tree to render (even if all layers are “not hidden”).

Anything deeper will not be converted to html string.

None –> use self.DEFAULT_TREE_SHOW_MAX_DEPTH if defined else DEFAULTS.TREE_SHOW_MAX_DEPTH
shorthand: None or bool: whether to use shorthand for the “Tree([depth=N, height=N, size=N], obj=…)” part of the repr.

True –> use shorthand; replace that^ with: “((N, N, N)) …”

None –> use self.DEFAULT_TREE_SHORTHAND if defined else DEFAULTS.TREE_SHORTHAND

element_cls: alias of FaceplotPlotElement

enumerate_flat(*, include_self=False): returns a generator which iterates over all of self’s descendants, in depth-first order,

yielding (index, node) pairs, such that self[index] == node.

Note that index will be a tuple with length == node.depth.

if include_self, yield self first, as: ((), self)).

property fig: figure where this Faceplot is plotted.

flat(*, include_self=False): returns a generator which iterates over all of self’s descendants, in depth-first order.

if include_self, yield self first.

flat_branches_until(branches_until, *, include_self=False): returns a generator which iterates over all of self’s descendants, in depth-first order,

but stop looking at descendants on a branch as soon as branches_until(node).

E.g. self.flat_branches_until(lambda node: node.obj==7) will be similar to flat,

but won’t go to any descendants for any node with obj==7.

if include self, yield self first, and check branches_until(self) before continuing.

otherwise, never check branches_until(self).

property frame: the currently-plotted frame

property frames: the frames that could be in the movie.

if set to None, will use self.get_nframes() instead.

if set to a slice, will use range(self.get_nframes())[frames] instead.

get_animator(*, fps=UNSET, blit=UNSET, frames=UNSET, plt_close=True, **kw_func_animation)

returns FuncAnimation instance using self as func.

Use kwarg defaults from self.plot_settings, for any kwargs not provided here.

fps: UNSET, None, or number (default: UNSET): frames per second.

UNSET –> use DEFAULTS.PLOT.FPS (default: 30).

(Or use value from self.plot_settings, if provided.)

None –> use matplotlib defaults.
blit: UNSET, None, or bool (default: UNSET): whether to use blitting.

UNSET –> use DEFAULTS.PLOT.BLIT (default: True).

(Or use value from self.plot_settings, if provided.)

if None, use matplotlib defaults.
frames: UNSET, None, int, iterable, or slice (default: UNSET): passed to FuncAnimation. Tells number of frames or which frames to plot.

If UNSET, use value from self.plot_settings if possible else getattr(self, ‘frames’, None).

if slice, use range(self.get_nframes())[frames], crashing if self doesn’t have ‘get_nframes’.
plt_close: bool: whether to plt.close() before returning the result.

This is useful in Jupyter, where commonly one cell might make a plot,

then call get_animator() to display movie in-line, but not plt.close().

In that case, plt_close=False would display animation & plot

[TODO] use init_func kwarg to avoid calling self twice for frame 0?

get_data_at_frame(frame): returns dict-like of data at this frame, ready for plotting.

get_nframes(): return max of get_nframes_here() for self & all descendants of self.

If any node throws PlottingNframesUnknownError, pretend they said nframes=0.

If all nodes throw PlottingNframesUnknownError, raise the one from self.

get_nframes_here(): return the number of frames that could be in the movie, based on this node.

property height: number of layers below self. (children, children’s children, etc.)

height = 0 for a node with no children.

classmethod help(): prints a helpful message with examples for how to use this cls

html(show_depth=None, max_depth=None, *, shorthand=None)

returns html for displaying self and all of self’s children.

show_depth: None or int: max number of layers of tree to show by default (i.e. “not hidden” by default)

None –> use self.DEFAULT_TREE_SHOW_DEPTH if defined else DEFAULTS.TREE_SHOW_DEPTH
max_depth: None or int: max number of layers of tree to render (even if all layers are “not hidden”).

Anything deeper will not be converted to html string.

None –> use self.DEFAULT_TREE_SHOW_MAX_DEPTH if defined else DEFAULTS.TREE_SHOW_MAX_DEPTH
shorthand: None or bool: whether to use shorthand for the “Tree([depth=N, height=N, size=N], obj=…)” part of the repr.

True –> use shorthand; replace that^ with: “((N, N, N)) …”

None –> use self.DEFAULT_TREE_SHORTHAND if defined else DEFAULTS.TREE_SHORTHAND

init_plot(): plot for the first time. Save the FaceplotPlotElement at self.obj.

init_plots(*, plotted_ok=True)

init_plot for self & all descendants with non-None obj.

plotted_ok: bool: True –> skip node if node.plotted.

False –> call init_plot on all nodes with non-None obj.

make_child(obj): makes a child of self, with obj as its stored object, and returns the child.

make_children(objs): make_child(obj) for obj in objs; returns the list of newly made children.

property parent: parent node of self. None if self is root.

When set to a value, calls self.set_parent(value),

which also updates tracking info appropriately, and updates parent’s children.

property parent_ref: stores parent value, but internally uses weakref to avoid circular references.

Users should always use self.parent instead.

plot_title(): adds title (as a MovieTextNode) on self.ax.

raise PlottingAmbiguityError if title already plotted

(this prevents having multiple title nodes).

property plotted: whether this node’s element has actually been plotted yet.

False before init_plot; True after. Always None if self.obj is None.

property plotted_data: the currently plotted data.

save(filename, frames=UNSET, *, fps=UNSET, blit=UNSET, **kw)

save the movie to filename.

RECOMMENDED:

first, self.save(…, frames=N), with small N (e.g. N=5), to test movie formatting.

Troubleshooting: if movie getting cut off,

try plt.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2, left=0.2, right=0.8, top=0.8),

or even more extreme values if necessary. (0 is bottom/left edge; 1 is top/right edge.)

frames: UNSET, None, int, iterable, or slice (default: UNSET): passed to FuncAnimation. Tells number of frames or which frames to plot.

If UNSET, use value from self.plot_settings if possible else getattr(self, ‘frames’, None).

if slice, use range(self.get_nframes())[frames], crashing if self doesn’t have ‘get_nframes’.
fps: UNSET, None, or number (default: UNSET): frames per second.

UNSET –> use DEFAULTS.PLOT.FPS (default: 30).

(Or use value from self.plot_settings, if provided.)

None –> use matplotlib defaults.
blit: UNSET, None, or bool (default: UNSET): whether to use blitting.

UNSET –> use DEFAULTS.PLOT.BLIT (default: True).

(Or use value from self.plot_settings, if provided.)

if None, use matplotlib defaults.

additional kwargs passed to FuncAnimation() or FuncAnimation.save().

returns abspath of the saved movie.

set_parent(parent, *, _internal=False): sets self.parent = parent. Also, parent.add_child(self), unless _internal=True.

Users should use self.parent = parent instead of calling set_parent directly.

property size: number of nodes in this tree. (here and below)

size = 1 for a node with no children.

update_to_frame(frame): update the plot for the given frame. set self.frame=frame.

also calls update_to_frame for all children.

return iterable of all updated artists.
