plot(epoch=None, label=None, plane=Planes.EARTH_ECLIPTIC, backend=None)

Plots the body orbit.

Parameters:

  • epoch (astropy.time.Time, optional) – Epoch of current position.

  • label (str, optional) – Label for the orbit, defaults to empty.

  • plane (Planes) – Reference plane of the coordinates.

  • backend (OrbitPlotterBackend) – An instance of OrbitPlotterBackend for rendendering the scene.
