Add average magnetopause and bow shock locations based on Winslow et al. (2013).

Add the plane projection of the average magnetopause and bow shock locations based on Winslow et al. (2013). These are plotted in units of Mercury radii.

Parameters#

axpyplot.Axes

The pyplot axis to add the boundaries to.

planestr {“xy”, “xz”, “yz”}, optional

What plane to project the boundaries to. yz is not yet implimented.

add_legendbool {True, False}, optional

Should pyplot legend labels be added.

Returns#

None
