ENH: Plot field line trace #13

Open KCollins opened 5 months ago

KCollins commented 5 months ago

Description

Add a function to produce plots of field line traces. (W2NAF already has some code to do this with geopack, if I recall correctly.)

Potential impact

Potential solution(s)

When performing a field line trace, include an option (perhaps called from findconj?) to generate and save a .csv/.pkl/df/plot of the field line. Might be 2D or 3D. Could be useful to generate for multiple stations. cf. https://book.magneticearth.org/geomag-obs-models/03a_magnetic-field-line-tracing

Alternatives

See if geopack or another package already provides this functionality before rewriting it.

Additional context

N/A

Per W2RUF, Tsyganenko 96 requires more parameters than 87. Would be good to have as an option but will require handling additional variables.

If these are added as kwargs or optional kwargs, it will have minimal impact on the existing classes/functions.

I've been using plotly express for visualizations. It can't handle 3D plots, but perhaps globe.gl can: https://github.com/vasturiano/globe.gl/tree/master/example/random-paths
