plot_earth [, FANCY=FANCY] [, fill=fill] [, TIME=TIME] [, LAT=LAT] [, LON=LON] [, KM=KM] [, COLOR=COLOR], blank=blank
overplot the earth onto a plot measured in Re
- puts the earth on the plot - messed up the colortable, need to reload ct after a run of this
- Only works well for iso plots measured in Re from the earth. Could be modified to work in meters or the like at a later date - sun is assumed to be to the right
Keywords
- FANCY in optional
plot the earth as a globe
- fill in optional
fill in the earth
- TIME in optional
the time of the fancy earth to plot, defults to zero This can be specifed in fractional hours (e.g. 12.345) or as an EUVtime (e.g. 20012001234 yyyydddhhmmss)
- LAT in optional
the lat of the center of the projection (does not work well)
- LON in optional
the lon of the center of the projection (does not work well)
- KM in optional
oplot on a oplot in units of km instead of Re
- COLOR in optional
what color to plot with
- blank

contour, dist(10), findgen(10)-5, findgen(10)-5, /fill, nlevels=30, /iso
