StationaryFrontolysis#

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

Draw a weakening stationary front..

Initialize a weakening 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.

__init__([colors])

draw_path(renderer, gc, path, affine[, rgbFace])

Draw the given path.
