Normalize vectors

pyspedas.tnormalize(variable, newname=None, return_data=False)[source]

Normalize all the vectors stored in a tplot variable

Parameters:

  • variable (str or np.ndarray) – tplot variable (or numpy array) containing the vectors to be normalized

  • newname (str, optional) – name of the output variable; If not set, output name will be variable + ‘_normalize’ Default: None

  • return_data (bool, optional) – If true, return the normalized vectors instead of creating a tplot variable Default: False

Returns:

  • name of the tplot variable created or normalized vectors if return_data

  • is set

Examples

>>> import pytplot
>>> pytplot.store_data('a', data={'x':[1, 2, 3], 'y':[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]})
>>> pytplot.tnormalize('a')
>>> print(pytplot.data_quants['a_normalized'].data)
