I realize after writing this that I can likely achieve the functionality of the above example by initializing an instance of Projs
then passing that in as a kwarg to plot_grid. However, kwargs for Projs.POLAR is not currently implemented (it's there as a parameter to axis_polar
, but is unused).
However, another example where specific kwargs of this sort may be useful:
Passing in unique colors to ACF plots so that power and phase are different than the defaults and each other. Simply passing color=...
won't be sufficient, since there are multiple ax.plot()
and ax.scatter()
calls, so more granularity is needed.
I think this will tie in nicely with a refactor for ax handlng too.
New Feature
Name: Kwargs handling
module: everywhere
package: every package
Scope
Passing kwargs to any and all matplotlib plotting calls.
Description
It would be a great addition if kwargs handling was extended so the user could specify kwargs for a specific feature of a plot. For example, plotting a geographic plot with coastlines, and I want to change the line thickness or color or alpha of the coastlines. Perhaps there can be a standardized
coastlines_kwargs
dictionary as an entry intokwargs
that contains the kwargs specific for plotting the coastlines. This sort of behaviour could then be extended to all the interconnected plotting that pyDARN does, and would need to be pretty extensively documented in the function docstrings and ReadTheDocs so that it's clear to the users how to make use of this.pyDARN Checklist
