Plot Selection

The plotter can plot up to 25 panels and stacked spectra per panel. If you have data larger than this (or for your own sanity) you need to select a subset of this data. This is particularly true for multibeam or multi IF data. The selector object should be used for this purpose. Selection can either be applied to the scantable or directly to the plotter, the end result is the same. You don't have to reset the scantable selection though, if you set the selection on the plotter.

Examples:

  ASAP>selection = selector()
  # Select second IF
  ASAP>selection.set_ifs(1)
  ASAP>plotter.set_selection(selection)

  # Select first 4 beams
  ASAP>selection.set_beams([0,1,2,3])
  ASAP>plotter.set_selection(selection)

  # Select a few scans
  ASAP>selection.set_scans([2,4,6,10])
  ASAP>plotter.set_selection(selection)

  # Multiple selection
  ASAP>selection.set_ifs(1)
  ASAP>selection.set_scans([2,4,6,10])
  ASAP>plotter.set_selection(selection)
