contourslice

Axes3DGL.contourslice(*args, **kwargs):

Volume slice contours.

Parameters:

  • x – (array_like) Optional. X coordinate array.

  • y – (array_like) Optional. Y coordinate array.

  • z – (array_like) Optional. Z coordinate array.

  • data – (array_like) 3D data array.

  • xslice – (list) X slice locations.

  • yslice – (list) Y slice locations.

  • zslice – (list) Z slice locations.

  • cmap – (string) Color map string.

  • smooth – (bool) Smooth contour lines or not.

Returns:

Contour slice graphics

Example of contourslice

X=Y=Z = arange(-2, 2.1, 0.2)
X,Y,Z = meshgrid(X, Y, Z)
V = X*exp(-X**2-Y**2-Z**2)

xslice = [-1.2,0.8,2]
yslice = []
zslice = []

levs = arange(-0.2, 0.4, 0.01)
contourslice(X, Y, Z, V, levs, xslice=xslice, yslice=yslice, zslice=zslice)
colorbar()
xlim(-2, 2)
ylim(-2, 2)

Vertical cross section contour slice with start and end x/y points

X=Y=Z = arange(-2, 2.1, 0.2)
X,Y,Z = meshgrid(X, Y, Z)
V = X*exp(-X**2-Y**2-Z**2)

xslice = [0.8]

levs = arange(-0.2, 0.4, 0.01)
contourslice(X, Y, Z, V, levs, xslice=xslice, xyslice=[-2,-1,2,1])
