Parameter Arguments

Additional plot tuning is possible via Parameter Arguments.

Parameter arguments depend on the type of the parameter. There are generic plot setting arguments such as color, symbol, axis type as well as parameter dependent ones - reference frame, energy channel etc.

Plotting Orbit

Orbital data (r⃗) can be represented differently by choosing different values of the OrbitPresentation argument.

• LINE - Standard time-profile of the three components at the same panel
• TICKS - Tickmarks under time axe
• CYL - Cylindrical presentation R(X) where R = sqrt(Y²+Z²)
• GLOB - 'Global' position on the ecliptic plane (for the moment for STEREO only)

Note that in the CYL case one has to play with Height/Width and Xmin/Xmax, Ymin/Ymax settings to get correct aspect ratio. Figure shows cylindrical representation of Mars-Express orbit with the settings used. Blue lines indicate bow-shock and pile-up boundaries.
