sim.analysis.plotratePSD() doesn't work with populations

[mariiapopova]

Hi! I was trying to do some network analysis with netpyne. Everything goes well, except when I try to use: sim.analysis.plotRatePSD(include=['VLA_pop']) with my VLA_pop. It gives the following error:

Plotting firing rate power spectral density (PSD) ... There was an exception in plotRatePSD(): argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable (<class 'TypeError'>, TypeError("argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable"), <traceback object at 0x000001BE0C8B5E88>)

I don't understand what is the problem, since when I do the same thing just specifying cell ids - it works perfectly. sim.analysis.plotRatePSD(include=[30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39],maxFreq=40);

This is the cell ids for the VLA population. Also VLA_pop itself seems to work because when I run: sim.analysis.plotRateSpectrogram(include=['VLA_pop']) everything also works.

Could you give me a hint why this might be happening? Thank you a lot in advance!

It seems that in that case you have to specify popcolors explicitly.

Hi Mariia, thanks for pointing this out, will fix this with the next release. That's right, as a temporary workaround you can specify popColors explicitly, or just put popColors={} to use default color scheme.

Thank you!
