Creating a map plot with no data

The following example shows how to use the map features in EMCPy. The map feature underlying source code comes from Cartopy.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from emcpy.plots import CreatePlot, CreateFigure
from emcpy.plots.map_tools import Domain, MapProjection


def main():
    # Create global map with no data using
    # PlateCarree projection and coastlines
    plot1 = CreatePlot()
    plot1.projection = 'plcarr'
    plot1.domain = 'global'
    plot1.add_map_features(['coastline', 'land', 'ocean'])
    plot1.add_xlabel(xlabel='longitude')
    plot1.add_ylabel(ylabel='latitude')

    fig = CreateFigure()
    fig.plot_list = [plot1]
    fig.create_figure()

    plt.show()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
