OrbitPlotter2D

OrbitPlotter2D class.
class poliastro.plotting.core.OrbitPlotter3D(figure=None, dark=False, *, num_points=150, plane=None, unit=u.km)

Bases: _PlotlyOrbitPlotter

OrbitPlotter3D class.

plot(self, orbit, *, label=None, color=None, trail=False)

Plots state and osculating orbit in their plane.

Parameters

  • orbit (Orbit) – Orbit to plot.

  • label (str, optional) – Label of the orbit.

  • color (str, optional) – Color of the line and the position.

  • trail (bool, optional) – Fade the orbit trail, default to False.

set_view(self, elev, azim, distance=5 * u.km)

Changes 3D view.

class poliastro.plotting.core.OrbitPlotter2D(figure=None, *, num_points=150, plane=None, unit=u.km)

Bases: _PlotlyOrbitPlotter, poliastro.plotting._base.Mixin2D

OrbitPlotter2D class.

New in version 0.9.0.

plot_trajectory(self, coordinates, *, label=None, color=None, trail=False)

Plots a precomputed trajectory.

An attractor must be set first.

Parameters

  • coordinates (CartesianRepresentation) – Trajectory to plot.

  • label (str, optional) – Label of the trajectory.

  • color (str, optional) – Color of the trajectory.

  • trail (bool, optional) – Fade the orbit trail, default to False.

plot_ephem(self, ephem, epoch=None, *, label=None, color=None, trail=False)

Plots Ephem object over its sampling period.

Parameters

  • ephem (Ephem) – Ephemerides to plot.

  • epoch (astropy.time.Time, optional) – Epoch of the current position, none will be used if not given.

  • label (str, optional) – Label of the orbit, default to the name of the body.

  • color (str, optional) – Color of the line and the position.

  • trail (bool, optional) – Fade the orbit trail, default to False.

plot(self, orbit, *, label=None, color=None, trail=False)

Plots state and osculating orbit in their plane.

Parameters

  • orbit (Orbit) – Orbit to plot.

  • label (str, optional) – Label of the orbit.

  • color (str, optional) – Color of the line and the position.

  • trail (bool, optional) – Fade the orbit trail, default to False.

plot_body_orbit(self, body, epoch, plane=Planes.EARTH_ECLIPTIC, *, label=None, color=None, trail=False)

Plots complete revolution of body and current position.

Parameters

  • body (poliastro.bodies.SolarSystemPlanet) – Body.

  • epoch (astropy.time.Time) – Epoch of current position.

  • plane (Planes) – Reference plane.

  • label (str, optional) – Label of the orbit, default to the name of the body.

  • color (str, optional) – Color of the line and the position.

  • trail (bool, optional) – Fade the orbit trail, default to False.
