galpy.potential.plotPotentials(Pot, rmin=0.0, rmax=1.5, nrs=21, zmin=-0.5, zmax=0.5, nzs=21, phi=None, ncontours=21, savefilename=None, aspect=None, justcontours=False)

NAME:

plotPotentials

PURPOSE:

plot a set of potentials

INPUT:

Pot - Potential or list of Potential instances

rmin= minimum R (can be Quantity)

rmax= maximum R (can be Quantity)

nrs= grid in R

zmin= minimum z (can be Quantity)

zmax= maximum z (can be Quantity)

nzs= grid in z

phi= (None) azimuth to use for non-axisymmetric potentials

ncontours= number of contours

justcontours= (False) if True, just plot contours

savefilename= save to or restore from this savefile (pickle)

OUTPUT:

plot to output device
