# mne.viz.plot_montage¶

mne.viz.plot_montage(montage, scale_factor=20, show_names=True, kind='topomap', show=True, sphere=None, verbose=None)[source]

Plot a montage.

Parameters
montageinstance of DigMontage

The montage to visualize.

scale_factorfloat

Determines the size of the points.

show_namesbool

Whether to show the channel names.

kindstr

Whether to plot the montage as ‘3d’ or ‘topomap’ (default).

showbool

Show figure if True.

sphere

The sphere parameters to use for the cartoon head. Can be array-like of shape (4,) to give the X/Y/Z origin and radius in meters, or a single float to give the radius (origin assumed 0, 0, 0). Can also be a spherical ConductorModel, which will use the origin and radius. Can be “auto” to use a digitization-based fit. Can also be None (default) to use ‘auto’ when enough extra digitization points are available, and 0.095 otherwise. Currently the head radius does not affect plotting.

New in version 0.20.

verbose

If not None, override default verbose level (see mne.verbose() and Logging documentation for more).

Returns
figinstance of matplotlib.figure.Figure

The figure object.
