Introduction to PyTplot
The Python-based Space Physics Environment Data Analysis Software (PySPEDAS) framework supports multi-mission, multi-instrument retrieval, analysis, and visualization of heliophysics time series data.
The recommended way of setting your local data directory is to set the
SPEDAS_DATA_DIR environment variable.
SPEDAS_DATA_DIR acts as a root data directory for all missions, and will also be used by IDL (if you’re running a recent copy of the bleeding edge).
Mission specific data directories (e.g.,
MMS_DATA_DIR for MMS,
THM_DATA_DIR for THEMIS) can also be set, and these will override
SPEDAS_DATA_DIR
Pytplot is a separate project (soon to be merged into PySPEDAS), that replicates the IDL "tplot" functionality. Pyspedas uses a modified version of pytplot with matplotlib as the plotting library.
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
