cf-plot
Code-light plotting for earth science and aligned research
Overview
cf-plot allows you to produce and customise publication-quality contour, vector, line and more plots with the power of Python, matplotlib, Cartopy and cf-python, in as few lines of code as possible.
It is designed to be a useful visualisation tool for environmental, earth and aligned sciences, for example to facilitate climate and meteorological research. cf-plot is developed and maintained by the NCAS-CMS group, part of NCAS.
Brief Demonstration
In as little as four lines of Python including imports and file reading,
using cf-plot you can for example produce a contour plot showing a 2D
subspace of a netCDF dataset:
import cf
import cfplot as cfp
f = cf.read('<dataset name>.nc')[0] # picks out a read-in field of the dataset
cfp.con(f.subspace(time=<chosen time value>)) # creates a contour plot of the field at that time value
Examples Gallery
A gallery of outputs made with cf-plot, showcasing a range of plotting possibilities with links to relevant documentation pages and to example code, can be found on this dedicated page within the documentation, as illustrated in the (static) image at the top of this document.
