Figure.add_axes

Figure.add_axes(rect, **kwargs)

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.

• basemap (bool or dict-like, optional) – Whether to use Basemap or Projection for map projections. Default is rc.basemap = False.
