Ignoring off-limb pixels#
How to not plot off-limb pixels.
By default sunkit-pyvista
plots all pixels in a map, using
assume_spherical_screen()
to
project off-limb pixels on to a spherical screen.
This example shows how off-limb pixels can be ignored altogether.

We will use an AIA 193 image from the sunpy sample data as the base image.
# Start by creating a plotter
plotter = SunpyPlotter()
# Plot a map setting the `assume_spherical_screen` to False
plotter.plot_map(
LOW_RES_AIA_193,
clip_interval=[1, 99] * u.percent,
assume_spherical_screen=False,
)
# Set the camera coordinate to view the plot correctly
camera_coord = SkyCoord(
0 * u.deg,
0 * u.deg,

plotter.set_camera_coordinate(camera_coord)
plotter.show()
