Class PlotDust

Initializing PlotDust session.

Parameters:

• star_name (string) - name of the star from Star.dat, use default only when never using any star model specific things

  (default: "model")

• path_mcmax (string) - Output modeling folder in MCMax home folder

  (default: '')

• inputfilename (string) - name of inputfile that is also copied to the output folder of the plots, if None nothing is copied

  (default: None)

• sed (Sed()) - an Sed object needed for plotting the SED. None if not plotting an Sed, but just dust parameters such as temperature

  (default: None)

• fn_add_star (bool) - Add the star name to the requested plot filename. Only relevant if fn_plt is given in a sub method.

  (default: 0)

Overrides: object.__init__

Creating an SED with 0, 1 or more models and data.

Includes data preparation on the spot.

Additional plotCols keywords can be passed through kwargs. They overwrite cfg input.

Parameters:

• star_grid (list[Star()]) - list of Star() models to plot. If star_grid is [], only data are plotted.

  (default: [])

• fn_plt (string) - A base plot filename. Includes folder. If not, a default is added

  (default: '')

• cfg (string) - path to the Plotting2.plotCols config file. If default, the hard-coded default plotting options are used.

  (default: '')

• iterative (int) - add an extra suffix to the filename for each iteratively calculated model, with this number giving the model muber (index in star_grid), 0 if not used.

  (default: 0)

• no_models (bool) - Only show data.

  (default: 0)

• show_phot_filter (bool) - Show the wavelength band of the photometric filters as an x error bar on the model phot

  (default: 0)

Plot correlated fluxes with 0, 1 or more models and data.

Includes data preparation on the spot.

Parameters:

• star_grid (list[Star()]) - list of Star() models to plot. If star_grid is [], only data are plotted.

  (default: [])

• fn_plt (string) - A base plot filename. Includes folder. If not, a default is added

  (default: '')

  (default: '')

• no_models (bool) - Only show data.

  (default: 0)

Plot visibilities as a function of baseline.

Wavelengths plotted are what is requested in the ray tracing

Includes data preparation on the spot.

Data location is that of correlated flux (for the visibilities), but also requires an sed object to retrieve the MIDI spectrum. If one of them is not available, models are be plotted without data.

Parameters:

• star_grid (list[Star()]) - list of Star() models to plot. If star_grid is [], only data are plotted.

  (default: [])

• fn_plt (string) - A base plot filename. Includes folder. If not, a default is added

  (default: '')

• cfg (string) - path to the Plotting2.plotCols config file. If default, the hard-coded default plotting options are used.

  (default: '')

• no_models (bool) - Only show data.

  (default: 0)

• fn_add_star (bool) - Add the star name to the requested plot filename.

  (default: 1)

A 2D color-scale plot to visualize the density structure of the Meixner model. Requires the Star()[DENSTYPE] to be Meixner.

The method used for plotting is available in cc.plotting.PlotMeixner.py and can be used standalone. It is called by this method as well, prepping the star_grid information to be used with PlotMeixner.

Alternatively, if star_grid is not defined, you can also pass the plotting input for PlotMeixner.plot() through this method. args is only passed to the plotDens method in this case.

For now the density is plotted in cgs with respect to cm. The density is normalized to the maximum density in the grid. (rho=rho/rho_max)

Parameters:

• star_grid (list[Star()]) - parameter sets, if [], the parameter sets are determined from the model ids

  (default: [])

• fn_plt (string) - A base plot filename. Includes folder. If not, a default is added

  (default: '')

• cfg (string) - Path to config file for this method. PlotMeixner.plotDens settings can be changed in cfg. Can be used to update the kwargs in case the density grid has to be adapted compared to what the star_grid indicates or what the kwargs contain. Give fn_plt as filename in cfg.

  (default: '')

Plotting the temperature stratification of the dust.

All models are shown in one plot.

Parameters:

• star_grid (list[Star()]) - parameter sets, if [], the parameter sets are determined from the model ids

  (default: [])

• models (list[string]) - The model_ids, if [], the parameter sets are expected in star_grid

  (default: [])

• fn_plt (string) - A base plot filename. Includes folder. If not, a default is added

  (default: '')

• unit (str) - The unit of the plotted radial grid. Can be 'cm','rstar', 'au', 'm'

  (default: 'cm')

• cfg (string) - path to the Plotting2.plotCols config file. If default, the hard-coded default plotting options are used.

  (default: '')

Plotting the temperature stratification of the dust.
