ENH: Plot field line trace #13

@KCollins

Description

@KCollins

Description

Add a function to produce plots of field line traces. (W2NAF already has some code to do this with geopack, if I recall correctly.)

Potential impact

  • Not critical functionality; nice-to-have

Potential solution(s)

When performing a field line trace, include an option (perhaps called from findconj?) to generate and save a .csv/.pkl/df/plot of the field line. Might be 2D or 3D. Could be useful to generate for multiple stations.

Alternatives

See if geopack or another package already provides this functionality before rewriting it.
