gridx (int, optional) – Number of points to plot (default is 100). grid for 1D plots, gridx and gridy for 2D plots
gridy (int, optional) – Number of points to plot (default is 100). grid for 1D plots, gridx and gridy for 2D plots
savefilename (str, optional) – Save to or restore from this savefile (pickle)
ncontours (int, optional) – Number of contours to plot (if applicable)
*args – Arguments and keyword arguments for galpy.util.plot.plot or galpy.util.plot.dens2d
