Definition at line 39 of file maps.py.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def maps.general_map.__init__

(

self

def maps.general_map.contour_field	(		self,
			var,
			field
	)

Draw field contours. Does not have to be the main field being processed. Mostly plotting height.

def maps.general_map.set_fig_params

(

self

)

Definition of parameters for plotting standard maps. 
   The top level variable name must match the "shortName" used in the grib file.
   Each variable has a 
   subdictionary for various height levels to define either int/min/max values, 
   or contour values directly. Other options that the scripts use: 
       cbar: user-specified color tables
      scale: a scale factor (should start with an operator (*,/,+,-)
       unit: a string for unit if the one in the grib file is inappropriate
    varname: option for using a variable name different than that in the grib file

Definition at line 46 of file maps.py.

def maps.general_map.wind_field

(

self

)

Plot the wind field in barbs. Masks are applied here to thin 
   the quantity of barbs plotted for clarity
