Generates Tisserand figures

plot_line(self, body, vinf, alpha_lim=(0, np.pi), color=None)

Plots body Tisserand line within flyby angle

Parameters

• body (Body) – Body to be plotted Tisserand

• alpha_lim (tuple) – Minimum and maximum flyby angles

• color (str) – String representing for the color lines

Returns

self.ax – Apsis tisserand is the default plotting option

Return type

Axes
