Figure.add_axes¶

Figure.add_axes(**kwargs)[source]¶

Add a non-subplot axes to the figure.

Parameters

rect (4-tuple of float) – The (left, bottom, width, height) dimensions of the axes in figure-relative coordinates.
proj, projection (str, cartopy.crs.Projection, or Basemap, optional) – The map projection specification(s). If 'cart' or 'cartesian' (the default), a CartesianAxes is created. If 'polar', a PolarAxes is created. Otherwise, the argument is interpreted by Proj, and the result is used to make a GeoAxes (in this case the argument can be a cartopy.crs.Projection instance, a Basemap instance, or a projection name listed in this table).
proj_kw, projection_kw (dict-like, optional) – Keyword arguments passed to Basemap or cartopy Projection classes on instantiation.
backend ({'cartopy', 'basemap'}, default: rc['geo.backend'] = 'cartopy') – Whether to use Basemap or Projection for map projections.

Other Parameters

**kwargs – Passed to the proplot class proplot.axes.CartesianAxes, proplot.axes.PolarAxes, proplot.axes.GeoAxes, or proplot.axes.ThreeAxes. This can include keyword arguments for projection-specific format commands.
