Create a standard five-panel summary subplot for a collection of galaxies.

The subplot shows: image, convergence, potential, deflections-y, and deflections-x. Critical curves and various point overlays can be added to all lensing panels automatically.

Parameters:

  • galaxies (sequence of Galaxy) – The galaxies to plot. Must not contain any LightProfileLinear profiles.

  • grid (aa.type.Grid1D2DLike) – The grid on which all quantities are evaluated.

  • output_path (str or None) – Directory in which to save the figure. None → plt.show().

  • output_format (str) – File format, e.g. "png".

  • colormap (str) – Matplotlib colormap name, or "default".

  • use_log10 (bool) – Apply a log₁₀ stretch to the plotted values.

  • positions (array-like or None) – Arbitrary point positions to overlay on all panels.

  • light_profile_centres (array-like or None) – Light-profile centre coordinates to overlay.

  • mass_profile_centres (array-like or None) – Mass-profile centre coordinates to overlay.

  • multiple_images (array-like or None) – Multiple-image positions to overlay on all panels.

  • tangential_critical_curves (list or None) – Pre-computed tangential critical curves. None triggers automatic computation.

  • radial_critical_curves (list or None) – Pre-computed radial critical curves. None triggers automatic computation.

  • auto_filename (str) – Output filename stem (default "subplot_galaxies").
