B.18.2 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. In this case we trust the markup in the VOTable input to describe the format of the epoch column.

stilts plot2time xpix=1000 ypix=1000
                 in=ACE_data.vot t=fp_year ttype=decyear
                 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. The time coordinate in this case is supplied as a decimal year column which does not have sufficient metadata to identify it as such, so we specify the time format explicitly as decyear.

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.
