Python / matplotlib - scaling with two axis parasites

Question

An attempt to build a spectrum, i.e. speed depending on intensity, with a smaller axis x = speed, on the upper double axis = frequency

Relations between them (Doppler expression formula)

f = (1-v/c)*f_0 

where f is the resulting frequency, v is the speed, c is the speed of light, f_0 is the frequency at v = 0, i.e. v_lsr.

I tried to solve it by looking at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/parasite_simple2.html where it is being solved

pm_to_kms = 1./206265.*2300*3.085e18/3.15e7/1.e5
aux_trans = matplotlib.transforms.Affine2D().scale(pm_to_kms, 1.)
ax_pm = ax_kms.twin(aux_trans)
ax_pm.set_viewlim_mode("transform")

My problem is how to replace pm_to_kms with my function by frequency?

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Answer 1

The solution I ended up with was:

ax_hz = ax_kms.twiny()
x_1, x_2 = ax_kms.get_xlim()
# i want the frequency in GHz so, divide by 1e9
ax_hz.set_xlim(calc_frequency(x_1,data.restfreq/1e9),calc_frequency(x_2,data.restfreq/1e9))

.
