NAME:

plotE

PURPOSE:

plot E(.) along the orbit

INPUT:

pot= Potential instance or list of instances in which the orbit was integrated

d1= plot Ez vs d1: e.g., ‘t’, ‘z’, ‘R’, ‘vR’, ‘vT’, ‘vz’

normed= if set, plot E(t)/E(0) rather than E(t)

ro= (Object-wide default) physical scale for distances to use to convert

vo= (Object-wide default) physical scale for velocities to use to convert

use_physical= use to override Object-wide default for using a physical scale for output

+bovy_plot.bovy_plot inputs

OUTPUT:

figure to output device
