Plot the antenna distribution in the local reference frame:
The location of the antennas in the MS will be plotted with
X-toward local east; Y-toward local north. The name of each
antenna is shown next to its respective location.
vis -- Name of input visibility file (required)
Default: none, example: vis='ngc5921.ms'
figfile -- Save the plotted figure in this file
Default: '', example: figfile='antplot.png'
antindex -- Label antennas with id in addition to name
Default: False, example: antindex=True
logpos -- Produce a logarithmic position plot
Default: False, example: logpos=True
exclude -- Antenna selection string to exclude from plotting
Note: integers are treated as names first then as index
Default: '', examples: "DV23,DA02" "1,5,7" "0~3"
checkbaselines -- Only plot antennas in the MAIN table
This can be useful after a split. WARNING: Setting
checkbaselines to True will add to runtime in
proportion to the number of rows in the dataset.
Default: False, example: checkbaselines=True
title -- Title written along top of plot
Default: '', example: "ALMA Antenna Positions"
showgui -- Whether or not to display the plotting GUI
Default: True; example showgui=False

A hard-copy of this plot can be obtained by pressing the
button on the right at the bottom of the display. A file
dialog will allow you to choose the directory, filename,
and format of the export.
