Issue with colorbar jumping max/min values when plotting movie

[Caroline Alexander]

Hi everyone,

When plotting a single AIA image I know it can be scaled using vmin/vmax but I'm having an issue when using more than one image.

If I have a mapcube called 'derotated' for example, I can make an on-screen movie using:

mp4=derotated.plot(interval=100,vmin=0,vmax=1000)

but using vmin/vmax here (and also calling colors.Normalize in another attempt) doesn't seem to have any effect and as the movie plays the numbers on the color bar change in position/value for each image. This looks really bad.

Please let me know if I am missing something obvious or if anyone has run into this before. I can obviously just not plot the colorbar but that seems like cheating and I would like each frame of the movie to be scaled in the same way.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you,

Caroline

Hi, Caroline,

     For the normalizer, MapCube uses the plot settings dictionary carried within each contained Map objects.  That is, as currently implemented, you need to set `plot_settings[‘norm’]` to the appropriate normalizer in each individual frame.
