Hello all,
I am plotting satellite orbit files and it looks really nice to plot an Earth
in the center with the continents on it to orient people to where the
spacecraft is. Does anyway know how to do this? All I seem to be able to do
is create a whole globe as the figure.
In this simple example:
from pylab import *
r = ndarray(40)
r[:] = 3.3
rad = linspace(0, 2*pi, 40)
figure()
subplot(111, polar=True)
plot(rad, r, lw=3)
draw()
wouldn't it look great to have the earth plotted in the space up to 1.0 (as
measured in earth radii)?
Thanks much,
Brian
