# Multi-spacecraft longitudinal configuration plotter

```{python}
# import libraries
from backmapping import *
```

# provide date and time

```{python}
date = '2020-05-01 13:00:00'
```

# Chose bodies/spacecraft and measured solar wind speeds (vst_list: leave empty for nominal speed of vsw=400 km/s)

```{python}
# selection of inner heliospheric spacecraft and bodies to be provided to body_list
print_body_list()
```

```{python}

# Provide a reference longitude in Carrington coordinates (e.g. flare longitude)

```{python}

```

# Initialize the Bodies

```{python}

# Display coordinates

```{python}

# Make the longitudinal constellation plot

```{python}
