Example Gallery¶
The gallery contains examples of how to use sunpy. Each example is a short and self contained how-to guide for performing a specific task.
Sample data¶
Some of these examples require the SunPy sample data, which are downloaded as needed via the module sunpy.data.sample
.
If you want to download all of the sample data files in advance, call sunpy.data.sample.download_all()
.
