StationaryFrontogenesis

class metpy.plots.StationaryFrontogenesis(colors=('red', 'blue'), **kwargs)

Draw a strengthening stationary front.

Initialize a strengthening stationary front path effect.

This effect alternates between a warm front and cold front symbol.

Parameters:

• colors (Sequence[str] or Sequence[tuple[float]]) – Matplotlib color identifiers to cycle between on the two different front styles. Defaults to alternating red and blue.

• size (int or float) – The size of the markers to plot in points. Defaults to 10.

• spacing (int or float) – The spacing between markers in normalized coordinates. Defaults to 1.

• flip (bool) – Whether the symbols should be flipped to the other side of the path. Defaults to False.

Attributes Summary

symbol_width

Return the width of the symbol being plotted.

Methods Summary

__init__([colors])	Initialize a strengthening stationary front path effect.
draw_path(renderer, gc, path, affine[, rgbFace])	Draw the given path.
