Plotting Functions

Function to perform plotting.

plotting.plotAll(allplanets, thetas, truedist=True)

The main plotting function. Formatted the same each time, this displays the relative positions of all the planets at the user inputted timestamp.

Inputs:
  • allplanets (list of dictionaries) - Each planet gets a dictionary with its relevant information (JD, RA, DEC, RANGE),

    and each dictionary is stored in this list.

  • thetas (list of floats) - Each planet’s updated RA angle

  • truedist (boolean) - True if you want to see the true relative distances to the planets on the planet.

    False if you want an evenly spaced system,

Outupts:

None

plotting.plotinner(allplanets, thetas)
Parameters

  • -allplanets – List of dictionaries. Each planet gets a dictionary with its relevant information (JD, RA, DEC, RANGE), and each dictionary is stored in this list.

  • -thetas – List of angles generated using utils.coscalc

Returns

None

Return Type:

NoneType

plotting.plotouter(allplanets, thetas)

Only plot the outer 5 planets

Parameters

  • -thetas – List of angles generated using utils.coscalc

Returns

None
