Plot customization

ARIADNE offers publication ready plots, but if you don't like how they look, you can tweak some stuff!

In order to customize your plots, first you need to create settings file or just copy the default one and modify it. The default settings can be found in this file.

General settings

These are some general settings that apply to (almost) every plot, they are the figure size, the font size, the font name, and the tick label size

In our file we just add the lines

figsize w,h
fontsize size
fontname name
tick_labelsize size

SED plot settings

These settings apply to the SED plot with the model

scatter_size size
marker marker
marker_model marker
marker_colors color
marker_colors_model color
scatter_alpha alpha
model_color color
error_color color
error_alpha alpha
  • scatter_size controls the marker sizes of both the synthetic and original photometry in the plot
  • marker corresponds to the marker for the original photometry. You can find a list of markers here
  • marker_model corresponds to the marker for the synthetic photometry.
  • marker_colors is the color for the original photometry. You can find the possible colors here
  • marker_colors_model is the color for the synthetic photometry.
  • scatter_alpha is the alpha or transparency value for the original photometry markers. Value must be between 0 and 1 where 1 is opaque and 0 transparent.
  • model_color is the color for the model line.
  • error_color is the color for the original photometry errorbars
  • error_alpha is the alpha or transparency value for the original photometry errorbars.

Corner plot settings

These settings apply to the corner plot

corner_med_c color
corner_med_style style
corner_v_c lightcoral
corner_v_style style
corner_fontsize size
corner_tick_fontsize size
corner_labelpad pad
corner_marker marker
  • corner_med_c is the color for the median value.
  • corner_med_style is the linestyle for the median value. You can find a list of styles here
  • corner_v_c is the color for the 1$\sigma$ values.
  • corner_v_style is the linestyle for the 1$\sigma$ values.
  • corner_fontsize is the fontsize for the titles and axis labels of the corner plot
  • corner_tick_fontsize is the corner plot tick's font size
  • corner_labelpad is the padding value for the axis labels, in case they are too close to the tick labels
  • corner_marker is the marker for the median value.

HR Diagram settings

These settings apply to the HR diagram plot.

hr_figsize w,h
hr_marker marker
hr_color color
hr_cmap cmap
  • hr_figsize is the figure size in width,height
  • hr_marker is the marker of the star in the diagram
  • hr_color is the marker color in the diagram
  • hr_cmap is the color map to show mass values. You can find a list of colormaps here

Now that we have our settings file ready, we need to give it to the SEDPlotter constructor:

from astroARIADNE.plotter import SEDPlotter

in_file = 'output/folder/BMA_out.pkl'
plots_out_folder = 'your plots folder here'

artist = SEDPlotter(in_file, plots_out_folder, settings='dir to your settings file')

And voilà! Our plots will now look exactly as we want them to!
