kind

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

Plots body Tisserand line within flyby angle.

Parameters:

• body (Body) – Body to be plotted Tisserand

• vinf (Quantity) – Vinf velocity line

• 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:

• num_contours (int) – Number of points to iterate over previously defined velocities

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

Returns:

self.ax – Apsis tisserand is the default plotting option
