XarrayContour

class PlasmaCalcs.plotting.contours.XarrayContour(array, t=None, *, x=None, y=None, ax=None, blur=None, init_plot=True, label=UNSET, **kw_super)

Bases: MoviePlotNode, PlotDimsMixin

MoviePlotNode of contours.

stores an XarrayContourPlotElement & has methods for plotting & updating the plot.

“contour” refers to a matplotlib.contour.QuadContourSet object, e.g. the result of plt.contour.

Troubleshooting jagged contours? Try using blur=1 or larger!

array: xarray.DataArray, probably ndim=3.

the data to be plotted. if ndim=2, can still plot, but nothing to animate.

t: None or str

the array dimension which frames will index. E.g. ‘time’.

None -> infer from array & any other provided dimensions.

x, y: None or str

if provided, tells dimensions for the x, y plot axes.

None -> infer from array & any other provided dimensions.

ax: None or Axes

the attached mpl.axes.Axes object.

None –> will use self.ax=plt.gca() when getting self.ax for the first time.

blur: None or number

if non-None, apply gaussian filter to array before storing it;
use sigma=blur, and only blur along x_plot_dim & y_plot_dim.
e.g. equivalent to arr.pc.blur([‘x’, ‘y’], sigma=blur).pc.contour(…, blur=None)
This is useful if the contours are too jagged / noisy!

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.)

label: UNSET or str (default: UNSET)

label for this plot element, to be included in a legend.

For xarrays, will label.format(**xarray_nondim_coords(array)).

legend_handle_kw: UNSET or dict (default: UNSET)

any additional kwargs to use when creating legend handles.

xmargin, ymargin, margin: None or number (greater than -0.5, probably close to 0.05) (default: None)

margin to use for x/y axis, as a fraction of the data interval for that axis.

None –> use matplotlib defaults

(e.g., plt.rcParams[“axes.xmargin”] or [“axes.ymargin”], or 0 if using imshow)

positive number –> pad around the data region, with this much whitespace.

E.g. 0.05 means adding 5% whitespace on each side.

Use this to zoom out.

negative number –> remove this much of the outer parts of the data region.

E.g. -0.2 means removing 20% space from each side.

Use this to zoom in.

For line plots, if also using robust, ymargin will be applied to the robust y lims.

(margin-related params share the same docstring, but refer to:

‘xmargin’: x-axis, ‘ymargin’: y-axis, ‘margin’: x and/or y-axis.)

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() if XarrayImage (or other single-array plot).

use XarraySubplotTitlesInferer.infer_title() if XarraySubplots (or other multi-array plot).

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.

__call__(frame): update the plot for the given frame. return iterable of all updated artists.

Defining __call__ in this way means self is compatible for direct use by FuncAnimation.

__getitem__(i): returns self.children[i]. If i is a tuple, index repeatedly, e.g. self[i[0]][i[1]][i[2]]…

classmethod __init_subclass__(*args_super, **kw): appends note about using self.plot_settings, to cls.__doc__.

if “PlotSettings” or “plot_settings” appears in cls.__doc__, do NOT append this note;

assuming instead that this means the doc already mentions how to use plot_settings.

_array_is_not_2D(): tells whether self.array is not 2D

_get_frames(value): gets frames based on value and possibly self.get_nframes() if necessary.

if result would be None, crash instead.

_has_valid_plot_dims(): return whether this array is plottable, i.e. all plot_dims can be inferred,

and array doesn’t have more than 3 dims.

_init_plot_checks(): checks to run before init_plot().

Here, checks:

- if self.plotted, raise PlottingAmbiguityError.

- if self.obj is None, raise PlottingAmbiguityError.

_make_plot_dims(): returns plot_dims from plot_dims_inputs and PLOT_DIMS_EXPECTING.

Tracks depth, height, size. This method does not connect any parents or children.

_on_setting_parent(parent): called immediately before setting self.parent = parent.

Tracks depth, height, size. This method does not connect any parents or children.

returns html string for displaying self. (this display hook is used by Jupyter automatically.).

Includes self.html() and DEFAULTS.TREE_CSS.

[TODO] apply the css to ONLY this output cell in Jupyter, instead of all output cells…

_shorthand_repr(): returns shorthand repr for this node (without children): “((depth, height, size)) obj”.

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.axes.Axes where this Contour is plotted.

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

depth = 0 for the node with parent = None.

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 XarrayContourPlotElement

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 Contour 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.

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.

(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 {‘array’: array at this frame}, properly transposed & 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.

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 XarrayContourPlotElement 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_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.

property plot_dims: PlotDimsInferrer for this plotting object.

Created from plot_dims_inputs and PLOT_DIMS_EXPECTING.

See help(self.plot_dims_inferrer_cls) for more details.

plot_dims_inferrer_cls: alias of PlotDimsInferrer

property plot_dims_inputs: inputs for creating self.plot_dims.

(Internally actually uses PlotDimsInferrer._translate_inputs(plot_dims_inputs);

provide _skip_translation=True to skip the normal translation rules.)

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.
