Hi Eric

I want to plot electron and ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs) using "mms_part_slice2d" for rotations B vs ExB and B vs E directions (B vs perp1 and B vs perp2 directions). Is there any option to plot 2D slices for these rotations?

Thanks Manpreet

I think you might have to use the custom_rotation parameter to define these rotations. I'm not sure exactly how you'd set that up -- I'll ask around and see if anyone in our group can help with this. If it's fairly straightforward, we could add that to the list of directly supported rotations.

Thank you, James.

I will try to use custom_rotation option and let you know if it works or not. However, I will also wait for your next reply if anyone from your group can help with it.
