galpy.df.streamdf.plotTrack

streamdf.plotTrack(d1='x', d2='z', interp=True, spread=0, simple=True, *args, **kwargs)[source]

NAME:

plotTrack

PURPOSE:

plot the stream track

INPUT:

d1= plot this on the X axis (‘x’,’y’,’z’,’R’,’phi’,’vx’,’vy’,’vz’,’vR’,’vt’,’ll’,’bb’,’dist’,’pmll’,’pmbb’,’vlos’)

d2= plot this on the Y axis (same list as for d1)

interp= (True) if True, use the interpolated stream track

spread= (0) if int > 0, also plot the spread around the track as spread x sigma

scaleToPhysical= (False), if True, plot positions in kpc and velocities in km/s

simple= (False), if True, use a simple estimate for the spread in perpendicular angle

galpy.util.plot.plotplot args and kwargs
