Summary#

cumulative_sunlight_cumulative_pie_chart()

Create a pie chart showing the total duration of full sunlight within the graph’s requested time interval.

eclipse_times_interval_graph()

Create an interval graph of the penumbra (partial lighting) and umbra (zero lighting) intervals.

flight_profile_by_downrange_line_chart()

Create a plot of altitude and true air speed as a function of downrange distance.

flight_profile_by_time_line_chart()

Create a plot of altitude and true air speed as a function of time.

lighting_times_interval_graph()

Create an interval graph of the sunlight (full lighting) intervals, penumbra (partial lighting) intervals and umbra (zero lighting) intervals.

lla_position_line_chart()

Plot the position of the object, expressed in LLA elements, as a function of time.

model_area_line_chart()

Create a plot of the area of the object’s 3D graphics model over time, as viewed from a given view direction, as computed by the Area Tool.

solar_aer_line_chart()

Create a plot of the azimuth, elevation, and range over time, describing the apparent relative position vector of the Sun with respect to Fixed VVLH axes (ECFVVLH).

solar_az_el_polar_center_0_graph()

Create a polar plot with elevation as radius and azimuth as angle theta over time, describing the apparent relative position vector of the Sun with respect to Fixed VVLH axes (ECFVVLH).

solar_intensity_line_chart()

Create a plot of the percent of the solar disc visible over time.

solar_panel_area_line_chart()

Create a plot of the effective area of the solar panels illuminated by the sun over time.

solar_panel_power_line_chart()

Create a plot of the power of the solar panels illuminated by the sun over time.

sun_vector_ecf_line_chart()

Create a plot of the apparent relative position of the Sun to the object, expressed in Cartesian components, using the object’s central body’s Fixed coordinate system, as a function of time.

sunlight_intervals_interval_pie_chart()

Create a pie chart showing each interval of full sunlight within the graph’s requested time interval, separated by gaps indicating the intervals of penumbra/umbra lighting condition before and after each sunlight interval.
