Welcome to the earthkit-plots documentation
earthkit-plots leverages the power of the earthkit ecosystem to make producing publication-quality scientific graphics as simple and convenient as possible.
It is built on top of popular data science and visualisation tools like numpy, xarray, matplotlib and cartopy, but provides a very high-level API enriched with domain-specific knowledge, making it exceptionally easy to use.
Key features include:
⚡ Concise, high-level API Generate high-quality visualisations with minimal code.
🧠 Intelligent formatting Titles and labels automatically adapt based on common metadata standards.
🎨 Customisable style libraries Easily swap styles to match your organisation, project, or personal preferences.
🔍 Automatic data styling Detects metadata like variables and units to optionally apply appropriate formatting and styling.
🌍 Complex grids supported out-of-the-box Visualise grids like HEALPix and reduced Gaussian without any extra legwork.
