I'm trying to use the icepyx library to display elevation satellite data from NSIDC using OpenAltimetry. I changed the parameters I was using to the defaults shown on the icepyx site so I'm following their exact instructions, but still nothing happens. Here's my code:
import icepyx as ipx
# general range wanted
short_name = 'ATL06'
date_range = ['2020-7-1', '2020-8-1'] # change later
spatial_extent = [-67, -70, -59, -65] # change later
cycles = ['03']
tracks = ['0948', '0872', '1184', '0186', '1123', '1009', '0445', '0369']
region = ipx.Query('ATL06',[-55, 68, -48, 71],['2019-02-22','2019-02-28'], \
start_time='00:00:00', end_time='23:59:59')
region.visualize_spatial_extent()
cyclemap, rgtmap = region.visualize_elevation()
cyclemap
It successfully sends the request to OpenAltimetry but simply displays "Plotting elevation, please wait..." before resetting the terminal.
I tried checking to see if the results were shown as a new file in the directory, or another instance of the application, but I didn't see anything.
I also tried using the Visualization module directly with from icepyx.core.visualization import Visualize and vis = Visualize(region) but it just reset the terminal, without a message or anything.
