msplot.plot - Function

1.3.3
Arguments


Inputs
type	The type of plot to do. Valid values are strings for each of the msplot function, the valid strings are: ”array” ”azimuth”, ”baseline”, ”elevation”, ”hourangle”, ”parallacticangle”, ”uvcoverage”, ”uvdist”, ”vischannel”, and ”vistime”
	allowed:	string
	Default:
column	Column name in main table of measurment set to plot. Valid values are: data, corrected, model, residual, and weight.
	allowed:	string
	Default:
value	String: amp, phase
	allowed:	string
	Default:
iteration	List of strings: Antenna1, Antenna2, Feed1, Feed2, Field_id, Scan_number, and Time. Spectral Window/Polarization_id( not available yet )
	allowed:	stringArray
	Default:

Returns
bool

Example

# create a msplot tool.
mp.open( msname=’./data/ngc7538.ms’);

# Plot the antenna distribution.
mp.plot( type=’array’ );

# Plot the uv distances with the corrected data column plotted
# over the data column
mp.plotoptions( overplot=False, plotcolor=’chocolate’ );
mp.plot( type=’uvdist’, value=’phase’ );
mp.plotoptions( overplot=True, plotcolor=’lemonchiffon’ );
mp.plot( type=’uvdist’, column=’corrected’, value=’phase’ );

# Do an iterative plot on baselines, on the visibility amplitude/channel
# plot. We display 6 plots at a time.
mp.clearplot();
mp.plotoptions( subplot=231 );
mp.plot( type=’vischannel’, column=’data’, value=’amp’, iteration=’baseline’ );
mp.iterplotnext();
mp.iterplotnext();
mp.iterplotstop();
