Potential.plotDensity(t=0.0, rmin=0.0, rmax=1.5, nrs=21, zmin=-0.5, zmax=0.5, nzs=21, phi=None, xy=False, ncontours=21, savefilename=None, aspect=None, log=False, justcontours=False, **kwargs)[source]

NAME:

plotDensity

PURPOSE:

plot the density of this potential

INPUT:

t= time to plot potential at

rmin= minimum R (can be Quantity) [xmin if xy]

rmax= maximum R (can be Quantity) [ymax if xy]

nrs= grid in R

zmin= minimum z (can be Quantity) [ymin if xy]

zmax= maximum z (can be Quantity) [ymax if xy]

nzs= grid in z

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

xy= (False) if True, plot the density in X-Y

ncontours= number of contours

justcontours= (False) if True, just plot contours

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

log= if True, plot the log density

OUTPUT:

plot to output device
