B.12.2 Examples

Here are some examples of plot2time:

stilts plot2time xpix=1000 ypix=300
                 in=ACE_data.vot t=epoch
                 layer.r=line y.r=Br color.r=grey
                 layer.t=line y.t=Bt color.t=cyan 
                 layer.n=line y.n=Bn color.n=pink

Three time series are plotted on the same axes as lines in different colours.

stilts plot2time xpix=1000 ypix=1000
                 in=ACE_data.vot t=epoch
                 layer.r=line y.r=Br zone.r=ZR
                 layer.t=line y.t=Bt zone.t=ZT
                 layer.n=line y.n=Bn zone.n=ZN
                 titleZR="Br" titleZT="Bt" titleZN="Bn"

The same data is plotted as in the previous example, but in this case each line is drawn in a different panel (zone), stacked vertically. The default colour is used for each line. Each plot is given a different title; note the title parameter suffixes refer to the zone identifiers not the layer identifiers.

stilts plot2time tmin=2007-06-07T02:40 tmax=2007-06-07T06:20 tformat=mjd
                 in=STEREO_STA_L1_SEPT_20070607_V05.cdf t=epoch_ns
                 ylabel=Channel
                 layer_3=spectrogram spectrum_3=Spec_0_NS
                 auxmap=accent auxfunc=log

Plots a spectrogram from a CDF file. The range along the horizontal axis is specified explicitly using ISO-8601 date strings, but it is labelled in Modified Julian Date.

stilts plot2time in=STEREO_STA_L1_SEPT_20070607_V05.cdf t=epoch_ns
                 layer_1=spectrogram spectrum_1=spec_0_ns zone_1=A
                 layer_2=spectrogram spectrum_2=spec_0_e  zone_2=B
                 layer_3=line y_3='mean(spec_0_ns)' color_3=plum    zone_3=C
                 layer_4=line y_4='mean(spec_0_e)'  color_4=skyblue zone_4=C
                 ylogC=true
                 auxfunc=sqrt auxmapA=viridis auxmapB=magma

This is a 3-zone plot; zones A and B each contains a spectrogram (layers _1 and _2), and zone C contains two line plots (layers _3 and _4). The Y axis is set to logarithmic for zone C only. The colour ramps are configured with aux* parameters; the stretch function is set to sqrt for all zones, and the colour map is set to different values for zones A and B.
