Initialise an OCBoundary object

Start a python or iPython session, and begin by importing ocbpy, numpy, matplotlib, and datetime.

import numpy as np
import datetime as dt
import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import ocbpy

Next, initialise an OCB class object. This uses the default IMAGE FUV file and will take a few minutes to load.

ocb = ocbpy.ocboundary.OCBoundary()
print(ocb)

Open-Closed Boundary file: ~/ocbpy/ocbpy/boundaries/si13_north_circle
Source instrument: IMAGE
Open-Closed Boundary reference latitude: 74.0 degrees
