Surface streamplot

Plot a composite map including bedrock altitude, surface altitude contours, a color-mapped surface velocity streamplot, and geographic elements.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import hyoga

# initialize figure
ax = plt.subplot()
cax = plt.axes([0.15, 0.55, 0.025, 0.25])

# open demo data
with hyoga.open.example('pism.alps.out.2d.nc') as ds:

    # plot model output
    ds.hyoga.plot.bedrock_altitude(ax=ax, center=False)
    ds.hyoga.plot.surface_altitude_contours(ax=ax)

    streams = ds.hyoga.plot.surface_velocity_streamplot(
        ax=ax, cmap='Blues', vmin=1e1, vmax=1e3, density=(6, 4))

    # add colorbar manually
    ax.figure.colorbar(streams.lines, cax=cax, extend='both')

    # add coastline and rivers
    ds.hyoga.plot.natural_earth(ax=ax)

# set axes properties
