width : float, array of floats, (float, unit) tuple, or tuple of
Width can have four different formats to support windows with
variable x and y widths. They are:
format |
example |
(float, string) |
(10,’kpc’) |
((float, string), (float, string)) |
((10,’kpc’),(15,’kpc’)) |
float |
0.2 |
(float, float) |
(0.2, 0.3) |
For example, (10, ‘kpc’) requests a plot window that is 10
kiloparsecs wide in the x and y directions,
((10,’kpc’),(15,’kpc’)) requests a window that is 10 kiloparsecs
wide along the x axis and 15 kiloparsecs wide along the y axis.
In the other two examples, code units are assumed, for example
(0.2, 0.3) requests a plot that has an x width of 0.2 and a y
width of 0.3 in code units. If units are provided the resulting
plot axis labels will use the supplied units.
unit : str
the unit the width has been specified in. If width is a tuple, this
argument is ignored. Defaults to code units.
