3.5.2.4 Plot flags — action=’plot’

The ’plot’ option will produce a graphical plot of flags of time versus antenna. This choice opens the sub-parameters:

action              =     ’plot’        #  Action to perform in MS and/or in inpfile
                                        #   (apply/unapply/list/plot/clear/extract)
     plotfile       =         ’’        #  Name of output file to save plot

This is only useful for online flags or general flag commands that are specified by antenna plus timerange using the standard REASON codes that are known SDM Flag.xml enumerations.

If the plotfile sub-parameter is non-blank, then a plotfile will be made with that name instead of appearing in a matplotlib plotter window on the users workstation.

ALERT: The plotted enumerations are currently only those known to be allowed JVLA online flags as of 15 April 2011, and include:

’FOCUS’, ’SUBREFLECTOR’, ’OFF SOURCE’, ’NOT IN SUBARRAY’

with all others being plotted as ’Other’.
