This is only used for spec plots, where the z axis represents the magnitude of the values in each bin. Parameters ---------- name : str, int, list of str, list of int The names, indices, or wildcard patterns of the tplot variable that you wish to set z limits for. min : flt The start of the z axis. max : flt The end of the z axis. logflag: bool (Optional) If True, use logarithmic scale; if False, linear scale, if None, no change Returns ------- None Examples -------- >>> # Change the z range of Variable1 >>> import pyspedas >>> x_data = [1,2,3] >>> y_data = [ [1,2,3] , [4,5,6], [7,8,9] ] >>> v_data = [1,2,3] >>> pyspedas.store_data("Variable3", data={'x':x_data, 'y':y_data, 'v':v_data}) >>> pyspedas.zlim('Variable1', 2, 3) """ if logflag is None: options(name,'z_range',[min,max]) else: options(name,'z_range',[min, max, logflag]) return
