panel for geo axis

[lwq-star]

I want to add panels to the geo axis, but this error occurred.

import ultraplot as uplt
import numpy as np

# Dummy data
data = np.random.rand(10, 10)

fig, ax = uplt.subplots(proj="cyl")
c1 = ax.imshow(data, cmap="viridis")

ax.colorbar(c1, loc="r", label="Some Label")
px = ax.panel_axes("b")

uplt.show()

AttributeError: '_CartopyAxes' object has no attribute 'is_panel_group_member'

I want an effect similar to this. The main plot uses a geographic axis, with additional panels using regular axes.

Will this feature be possible in the future?

We meet again!

The GeoPlot needs some TLC and we are looking for active maintainers that focus on these areas. I am not working inside this field so for me it is rather difficult to see the bugs on this part of the codebase directly. In the end, I would like to see that the GeoAxes behave the same as the cartesian plots (or 3d plots). In short, yes this should be a features, but I am also limited on time and space so contributions are more than welcome. I will put this on the docket too.

Thank you for your contributions. After I finish my paper, I will also do what I can within my limited capacity to see how to implement this feature.

Just curious how helpful would panels be for GeoAxes? By default the panels share the coordinate references as such won't the plot not be difficult to maintain? I implemented a fix in #238 but need to think a bit more about the tests and or if this feature would be helpful and I would love your input.

[lwq-star]

It is quite common to include a statistical panel when plotting geographic axes, of course, without sharing the coordinate reference with the geographic axis. This can also be achieved by setting up two frames, simply by adjusting the size of the accompanying frame.
Just like this.

[cvanelteren]

I see -- will add some tests for this.

[lwq-star]

I have an example here, but I don't know how to adjust the size of the right-side plot frame. I want to set refaspect=0.5, but the fig.subplot does not have this parameter.

import ultraplot as uplt

fig = uplt.figure(span=False, share='all', journal='nat2')
gs = uplt.GridSpec(ncols=2, nrows=2)

ax1 = fig.subplot(gs[0], proj="cyl")
ax2 = fig.subplot(gs[1])
ax3 = fig.subplot(gs[2], proj="cyl")
ax4 = fig.subplot(gs[3])

[cvanelteren]

So the panels should have worked but I had a spelling issue. I need to flash it out a bit more before this can be closed but seems doable. More info will follow soon.

That is right!

Fixed on main.
