SubplotGrid.inset_axes¶

SubplotGrid.inset_axes(*args, **kwargs)¶

Add an inset axes for every axes in the grid. This is similar to matplotlib.axes.Axes.inset_axes.

Parameters

bounds (4-tuple of float) – The (left, bottom, width, height) coordinates for the axes.
transform ({'data', 'axes', 'figure'} or Transform, optional) – The transform used to interpret the bounds. Can be a Transform instance or a string representing the transData, transAxes, or transFigure transforms. Default is 'axes', i.e. bounds is in axes-relative coordinates. Default is to use the same projection as the current axes.
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.
basemap (bool or dict-like, optional) – Whether to use Basemap or Projection for map projections. Default is rc.basemap = False.
zorder (float, optional) – The zorder of the axes. Should be greater than the zorder of elements in the parent axes. Default is 4.
zoom (bool, optional) – Whether to draw lines indicating the inset zoom using indicate_inset_zoom. The line positions will automatically adjust when the parent or inset axes limits change. Default is True only if both axes are CartesianAxes.
zoom_kw (dict, optional) – Passed to indicate_inset_zoom.

Other Parameters

**kwargs – Passed to proplot.axes.Axes.

Returns

proplot.axes.Axes – The inset axes.
