Plotting routines for slab models
=================================

Collections of plotting routines for ProDiMo slab model output. All the routines use matplotlib.

Also check the example `notebook <https://gitlab.astro.rug.nl/prodimo/prodimopy/-/blob/master/notebooks/SlabExample.ipynb>`_.

Usage example
-------------

.. code-block:: python

   # the prodimopy modules for reading and plotting
   import prodimopy.read_slab as preads
   import prodimopy.plot_slab as pplots

   # read the model from the current directory
   model=pread.read_slab()

   # plot boltzmann diagram for the slab model
   fig_1,ax_1 = pplots.plotBoltzmannDiagram(model)

   # plot level diagram for the slab model
   fig_2,ax_2 = pplots.plotLevelDiagram(model)

   # plot the total line fluxes for the slab model
   fig_3,ax_3 = pplots.plot_lines(model)
   
   # convolve the line fluxes at a spectral resolution of R=3000 between 5 and 30 microns
   model.convolve(R=3000,lambda_0=5,lambda_n=30)
   
   # plot the convolved spectra for the slab model
   fig_4,ax_4 = pplots.plot_spectra(model)
