3D geomagnetic fieldlines from pymagglobal¶
This extension to pymagglobal provides python scripts to generate 3D vectors of the Earth’s magnetic field. These can be used to generate images of the geomagnetic fieldlines like the one above. The extension is provided as several python scripts, available via the git repository of the project. In the examples section we provide two use cases, generating images with Mayavi and ParaView. If you have trouble using the scripts or really any question, do not hestitate to contact us.
