Drawing the moon
================

Drawing the Moon by python is a good motivation to start with Moon data analysis.

Here we try!

Using a prepared function
=========================

The function :func:`axis_map_me <irfpy.cy1orb.plot.axis_cy1_me.axis_map_me>` plots the lunar map.

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> from irfpy.cy1orb.plot import axis_cy1_me
>>> axis_cy1_me.axis_map_me()

.. image:: 050_moonmap_1.png

The lunar image data is from LROC/WAC image.

.. note::

        The data is in public domain, and is distributed at
        http://....
        Follow the regulations and instruction there
        for re-using the data or the image.


Further reading
===============

The moon image plotting are done by using the :mod:`planets:irfpy.moon.plot.moon_map` module.
Refer to :ref:`the document <planets:draw_a_moon-map>` for more details.
