Higher-level plotting methods for Figure.plot and Figure.plot3d

[seisman]

Figure.plot and Figure.plot3d are probably the most frequently-used plotting methods. They're powerful and also complicated.

It would be better if we could provide some higher-level wrappers on top of Figure.plot/Figure.plot3d. Some possible plotting methods include (Feel free to edit the top post to add more ideas!)

• Figure.scatter: plot scatter points
  • matplotlib.pyplot.scatter
• Figure.scatter3d: plot scatter points in 3D
  • https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/mplot3d/scatter3d.html)
• Figure.hlines/Figure.vlines: plot horizontal/vertical lines
  • matplotlib.pyplot.hlines,
  • matplotlib.pyplot.vlines,

• Figure.choropleth: plot Choropleth maps

• Figure.errorbar: plot errorbars of data points

• Figure.stem:

  • 3052

• Figure.fill_between (or something similar):

  • 3169
