Inset¶
The pygmt.Figure.inset
method adds an inset figure inside a larger
figure. The function is called using a with
statement, and its position
,
box
, offset
, and margin
parameters are set. Plotting methods called
within the with
statement are applied to the inset figure.
Out:
import pygmt
fig = pygmt.Figure()
# Create the primary figure, setting the region to Madagascar, the land color to
# "brown", the water to "lightblue", the shorelines width to "thin", and adding a frame
fig.coast(region="MG+r2", land="brown", water="lightblue", shorelines="thin", frame="a")
# Create an inset, setting the position to top left, the width to 3.5 centimeters, and
# the x- and y-offsets to 0.2 centimeters. The margin is set to 0, and the border is "gold".
with fig.inset(position="jTL+w3.5c+o0.2c", margin=0, box="+pgold"):
# Create a figure in the inset using coast. This example uses the azimuthal
# orthogonal projection centered at 47E, 20S. The land color is set to "gray" and
# Madagascar is highlighted in "red".
fig.coast(
region="g", projection="G47/-20/3.5c", land="gray", water="white", dcw="MG+gred"
)
fig.show()
