Add function to create a default GeoAxis #13

Closed lkluft closed 2 months ago

lkluft commented 2 months ago

When using healpix_show or healpix_contour, the user has to create a Cartopy GeoAxis in the first place. This creates a significant overhead in situations where only a quick view is desired. This PR adds the convenience function create_geoaxis which creates a new figure using the Robinson map projection. This function will be used as the new default when users don't explicitly pass an axis.

PS: One might consider enabling coastlines by default.
