fleck.generate_spots(min_latitude, max_latitude, spot_radius, n_spots, n_inclinations=None, inclinations=None)[source]#

Generate matrices of spot parameters.

Will generate n_spots spots on different stars observed at n_inclinations different inclinations.

Parameters:

min_latitudefloat: Minimum spot latitude
max_latitudefloat: Maximum spot latitude
spot_radiusfloat or ndarray: Spot radii
n_spotsint: Number of spots to generate
n_inclinationsint, optional: Number of inclinations to generate
inclinationsndarray, optional: Inclinations (user defined). Default (None): randomly generate.

Returns:
