thunderboltz.CrossSections.plot_cs

CrossSections.plot_cs(ax=None, legend=True, vsig=False, thresholds=False, **plot_args)[source]

Plot the cross sections models.

Parameters:

  • ax (Axes or None) – Optional axes object to plot on top of, default is None. If ax is None, then a new figure and Axes object will be created.

  • legend (bool or dict) – Activate axes legend if true, default is True. If a dictionary is passed, it is interpreted as arguments to legend().

  • vsig (bool) – Plot \(\sqrt{\frac{2\epsilon}{m_{\rm e}}}\sigma(\epsilon)\) rather than \(\sigma(\epsilon)\) on the y-axis.

  • thresholds (bool) – if True, plot \(\frac{\epsilon}{\epsilon_{\rm ion}} - 1\) rather than \(\epsilon\) on the x-axis.

  • **plot_args – Optional arguments passed to Axes.plot().

Returns:

The axes object.

Return type:

ax (matplotlib.axes.Axes)
