galpy.potential.plotRotcurve

galpy.potential.plotRotcurve(Pot, *args, **kwargs)[source]

NAME:

plotRotcurve

PURPOSE:

plot the rotation curve for this potential (in the z=0 plane for non-spherical potentials)

INPUT:

Pot - Potential or list of Potential instances

Rrange - Range in R to consider (needs to be in the units that you are plotting; can be Quantity)

grid= grid in R

phi= (None) azimuth to use for non-axisymmetric potentials

savefilename= save to or restore from this savefile (pickle)

+galpy.util.plot.plot args and kwargs

OUTPUT:

plot to output device

HISTORY:

2010-07-10 - Written - Bovy (NYU)

2016-06-15 - Added phi= keyword for non-axisymmetric potential - Bovy (UofT)
