Getting Started
mw-plot is a handy Python package for plotting face-on and all-sky maps of the Milky Way using matplotlib (https://matplotlib.org/) for static plots and bokeh (https://bokeh.org/) for interactive plots.
You can set the center and radius of the plot anywhere on a milkyway galaxy image with galactic or galactocentric coordinates.
Detailed documentation is available at https://milkyway-plot.readthedocs.io/
No acknowledgement to mw_plot is required if you generate plots for your non-commerical publication, but you must acknowledgement the origin of the background images. The relevant reference text can by obtained by the property citation of a mw_plot class instance.
For example, to get the citation text for the background image of a face-on Milky Way plot:
>>> from mw_plot import MWFaceOn
>>> mw = MWFaceOn()
>>> mw.citation
'NASA/JPL-Caltech/R. Hurt (SSC/Caltech)'or for the background infrared image of an all-sky Milky Way plot:
>>> from mw_plot import MWSkyMap
>>> mw = MWSkyMap()
>>> mw.citation
