mne.viz.plot_head_positions¶

mne.viz.plot_head_positions(pos, mode='traces', cmap='viridis', direction='z', show=True, destination=None, info=None, color='k', axes=None)[source]¶

Plot head positions.

Parameters

posndarray, shape (n_pos, 10) | list of ndarray: The head position data. Can also be a list to treat as a concatenation of runs.
modestr: Can be ‘traces’ (default) to show position and quaternion traces, or ‘field’ to show the position as a vector field over time. The ‘field’ mode requires matplotlib 1.4+.
cmapcolormap: Colormap to use for the trace plot, default is “viridis”.
directionstr: Can be any combination of “x”, “y”, or “z” (default: “z”) to show directional axes in “field” mode.
showbool: Show figure if True. Defaults to True.
destinationstr | array_like, shape (3,) | None: The destination location for the head, assumed to be in head coordinates. See mne.preprocessing.maxwell_filter() for details.

New in version 0.16.
infoinstance of mne.Info | None: Measurement information. If provided, will be used to show the destination position when destination is None, and for showing the MEG sensors.

New in version 0.16.
colorcolor object: The color to use for lines in mode == 'traces' and quiver arrows in mode == 'field'.

New in version 0.16.
axesarray_like, shape (3, 2): The matplotlib axes to use. Only used for mode == 'traces'.

New in version 0.16.
