xoa.plot.plot_double_minimap

xoa.plot.plot_double_minimap(obj, regional_ax='below', **kwargs)

Plot a global minimap and a regional minimap

It consists in two calls to plot_minimap() with the first one with a “global” extent. By default, the coordinates are plotted as single point on the global minimap, and the regional minimap is placed below the global one.

Parameters:

• regional_ax (axes, list, str) – If a string, it should be one of "below", "above", "left" or "right" and it is interpreted as a relative position of the regional minimap with respect to the global one.

• **kwargs – Parameters matching global_<param> are passed to the global minimap while parameters matching regional_<param> are passed to the regional minimap. All other parameters are passed to both minimaps.

Returns:

cartopy.mpl.geoaxes.GeoAxes, cartopy.mpl.geoaxes.GeoAxes – A tuple of (global_ax, regional_ax)

Example

In [1]: ds = xr.Dataset(coords={"lon": ("station", [-7, -5, -5]), "lat": ("station", [44, 44, 46])})

In [2]: plt.plot([0, 2], [0, 2])
Out[2]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x7b38caa95160>]

In [3]: plot_double_minimap(ds)
Out[3]: (<GeoAxes: >, <GeoAxes: >)
