pyart.graph.RadarDisplay

class pyart.graph.RadarDisplay(radar, shift=(0.0, 0.0))

A display object for creating plots from data in a radar object.

Parameters:

• radar (Radar) – Radar object to use for creating plots.

• shift ((float, float)) – Shifts in km to offset the calculated x and y locations.

Variables:

• plots (list) – List of plots created.

• plot_vars (list) – List of fields plotted, order matches plot list.

• cbs (list) – List of colorbars created.

• origin (str) – ‘Origin’ or ‘Radar’.

• shift ((float, float)) – Shift in meters.

• loc ((float, float)) – Latitude and Longitude of radar in degrees.

• fields (dict) – Radar fields.

• scan_type (str) – Scan type.

• ranges (array) – Gate ranges in meters.

• azimuths (array) – Azimuth angle in degrees.

• elevations (array) – Elevations in degrees.

• fixed_angle (array) – Scan angle in degrees.

• antenna_transition (array or None) – Antenna transition flag (1 in transition, 0 in transition) or None if no antenna transition.
