Chaning 3D axis units?

[saskia222]

Hi i was wondering if there was a way to change the units on the axis to AU instead of km for the 3D plots? Thanks.

Hi @saskia222, thanks for opening this issue.

This issue has been solved in the development version of poliastro and it will be included in the next release 0.18.

You can install the latest poliastro version by doing:

python -m pip install https://github.com/poliastro/poliastro/archive/main.zip

The following example shows how to use the new axis units functionality:

from astropy import units as u

from poliastro.examples import molniya
from poliastro.plotting import OrbitPlotter


plotter = OrbitPlotter(length_scale_units=u.AU)
plotter.plot(molniya)
plotter.show()
