PltOrbit:

Path: SC/Visualization

% Plots one orbit and the sun vector looking down on the ECI Plane.
   The input is a set of Kepler elements and a Julian date. It also plots 
   the line of nodes and the line between apogeee and perigee, and, 
   optionally, a spin axis located at the beginning of the orbit.

   Specify a planet name to use SunVectorECI instead of SunV1.

   Has two built-in demos, one for an Earth orbit and one for Mars.

   Since version 1.
