How should I plot healpix binning

I was plotting celestial sphere with equal area binning. My first intention was making a binning based on the basic calculus knowledge which I learned from 1st year University calculus class. Following is what I made.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def Drawpixel(lm,lM,bm,bM,co,w):
    l0=[lm,lM]
    b0=[bM,bM]
    l1=[lm,lM]
    b1=[bm,bm]
    l2=[lm,lm]
    b2=[bm,bM]
    l3=[lM,lM]
    b3=[bm,bM]
    plt.plot(l0,b0,c=co,linewidth=w)
    plt.plot(l1,b1,c=co,linewidth=w)
    plt.plot(l2,b2,c=co,linewidth=w)
    plt.plot(l3,b3,c=co,linewidth=w)

def Paint(lm,lM,bm,bM,co):
    l=[lm,lM]
    b1=[bM,bM]
    b2=[bm,bm]
    plt.fill_between(l,b1,b2,color=co)
    

plt.subplot(111,projection="aitoff")
plt.title("Equal Binning", fontsize = 30)
co='k'
w=1
for i in range(16):
    bM=np.pi/2-np.arccos((8-i)/8)
    bm=np.pi/2-np.arccos((7-i)/8)
    for j in range(32):
        lm=(j-16)/16*np.pi*-1
        lM=(j-15)/16*np.pi*-1
        Drawpixel(lm,lM,bm,bM,co,w)

ax=plt.gca()
plt.pause(0.1)
ax.set_xticklabels(ax.get_xticklabels()[::-1])
plt.xticks(fontsize=20)
plt.yticks(fontsize=20)
plt.xlabel("L",fontsize=25)
plt.ylabel("B",fontsize=25)
plt.show()

With this I would get something like thisenter image description here

After plotting the plot I made, I learned that there is a binning method named healpix and it would provide equal area binning with different shape. Also I learned that there was a python software named healpy, however, I could not find how could I generate similar plot like above from the healpy instruction. Is there a simple method I can make a plot using healpix? (If there is a simple function supported from healpy, that would be also appreciated.)

How to show number of registered users in Laravel based on usertype?

How to split a rinex file if I need 24 hours data

Trying to divide rinex file using the command gfzrnx but getting this error. While doing that getting this error msg 'gfzrnx' is not recognized as an internal or external command Trying to split rinex file using the command gfzrnx. also install'gfzrnx'. my doubt is I need to run this program in 'gfzrnx' or in 'cmdprompt'. I am expecting a rinex file with 24 hrs or 1 day data.I Have 48 hrs data in RINEX format. Please help me to solve this issue. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75385367/how-to-split-a-rinex-file-if-i-need-24-hours-data
