pysteps.visualization.basemaps.plot_geography¶

pysteps.visualization.basemaps.plot_geography(proj4str, extent, lw=0.5, drawlonlatlines=False, drawlonlatlabels=True, plot_map='cartopy', scale='50m', subplot=None, **kwargs)¶

Plot geographical map in a chosen projection using cartopy.

Parameters

proj4str: str: The PROJ.4-compatible projection string.
extent: scalars (left, right, bottom, top): The bounding box in proj4str coordinates.
lw: float, optional`: Linewidth of the map (administrative boundaries and coastlines).
drawlonlatlines: bool, optional: If set to True, draw longitude and latitude lines.
drawlonlatlabels: bool, optional: If set to True, draw longitude and latitude labels. Valid only if ‘drawlonlatlines’ is True.
plot_map: {‘cartopy’, None}, optional: The type of basemap, either ‘cartopy’ or None. If None, the figure axis is returned without any basemap drawn. Default ‘cartopy’.
scale: {‘10m’, ‘50m’, ‘110m’}, optional: The scale (resolution). Applicable if ‘plot_map’ is ‘cartopy’. The available options are ‘10m’, ‘50m’, and ‘110m’. Default '50m'.
subplot: tuple of int (nrows, ncols, index) or SubplotSpec_ instance, optional: The subplot where to plot the basemap. By the default, the basemap will replace the current axis.

Returns

ax: fig Axes: Cartopy axes.
