discretize.TensorMesh.plot_image

TensorMesh.plot_image(v, v_type='CC', grid=False, view='real', ax=None, clim=None, show_it=False, pcolor_opts=None, stream_opts=None, grid_opts=None, range_x=None, range_y=None, sample_grid=None, stream_thickness=None, stream_threshold=None, **kwargs)

Plot quantities defined on a given mesh.

This method is primarily used to plot models, scalar quantities and vector quantities defined on 2D meshes. For 3D discretize.TensorMesh however, this method will plot the quantity for every slice of the 3D mesh.

Parameters:

vnumpy.ndarray

Gridded values being plotted. The length of the array depends on the quantity being plotted; e.g. if the quantity is a scalar value defined on mesh nodes, the length must be equal to the number of mesh nodes.

v_type{‘CC’,’CCV’, ‘N’, ‘F’, ‘Fx’, ‘Fy’, ‘Fz’, ‘E’, ‘Ex’, ‘Ey’, ‘Ez’}

Defines the input parameter v.

view{‘real’, ‘imag’, ‘abs’, ‘vec’}

For complex scalar quantities, options are included to image the real, imaginary or absolute value. For vector quantities, view must be set to ‘vec’.

axmatplotlib.axes.Axes, optional

The axes to draw on. None produces a new Axes.

climtuple of float, optional

length 2 tuple of (vmin, vmax) for the color limits

range_x, range_ytuple of float, optional

length 2 tuple of (min, max) for the bounds of the plot axes.

pcolor_optsdict, optional

Arguments passed on to pcolormesh

gridbool, optional

Whether to plot the edges of the mesh cells.

grid_optsdict, optional

If grid is true, arguments passed on to plot for grid

sample_gridtuple of numpy.ndarray, optional

If view == ‘vec’, mesh cell widths (hx, hy) to interpolate onto for vector plotting

stream_optsdict, optional

If view == ‘vec’, arguments passed on to streamplot

stream_thicknessfloat, optional

If view == ‘vec’, linewidth for streamplot

stream_thresholdfloat, optional

If view == ‘vec’, only plots vectors with magnitude above this threshold

show_itbool, optional

Whether to call plt.show()

numberingbool, optional

For 3D TensorMesh only, show the numbering of the slices

annotation_colorColor or str, optional

For 3D TensorMesh only, color of the annotation

Examples

2D TensorMesh plotting

>>> from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
>>> import discretize
>>> import numpy as np
>>> M = discretize.TensorMesh([20, 20])
>>> v = np.sin(M.gridCC[:, 0]*2*np.pi)*np.sin(M.gridCC[:, 1]*2*np.pi)
>>> M.plot_image(v)
>>> plt.show()
