"""Plot individually the rows of a ragged array dataset on a Matplotlib Axes
or a Cartopy GeoAxes object ``ax``.
This function wraps Matplotlib's ``plot`` function (``plt.plot``) and
``LineCollection`` (``matplotlib.collections``) to efficiently plot
the rows of a ragged array dataset.
Parameters
----------
ax: matplotlib.axes.Axes or cartopy.mpl.geoaxes.GeoAxes
Axis to plot on.
longitude : array-like
Longitude sequence. Unidimensional array input.
latitude : array-like
Latitude sequence. Unidimensional array input.
rowsize : list
List of integers specifying the number of data points in each row.
*args : tuple
Additional arguments to pass to ``ax.plot``.
colors : array-like
Values to map on the current colormap. If ``colors`` is the shape of ``rowsize``,
the data points of each row are uniformly colored according to the color value for the row.
If ``colors`` is the shape of ``longitude`` and ``latitude``, the data points are colored according
to the color value for each data point.
tolerance : float
Longitude tolerance gap between data points (in degrees) for segmenting rows.
For periodic domains, the tolerance parameter should be set to the maximum allowed gap
between data points. Defaults to 180.
**kwargs : dict
Additional keyword arguments to pass to ``ax.plot``.
Returns
-------
list of matplotlib.lines.Line2D or matplotlib.collections.LineCollection
The plotted lines or line collection. Can be used to set a colorbar
after plotting or extract information from the lines.
Examples
--------
Load 100 trajectories from the gdp1h dataset for the examples.
>>> from clouddrift import datasets
>>> from clouddrift.ragged import subset
>>> from clouddrift.plotting import plot_ragged
>>> import numpy as np
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import make_axes_locatable
>>> ds = datasets.gdp1h()
>>> ds = subset(ds, {"id": ds.id[:100].values}).load()
Plot the trajectories, assigning a different color to each trajectory:
>>> fig = plt.figure()
>>> ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
>>> l = plot_ragged(
>>> ax,
>>> ds.lon,
>>> ds.lat,
>>> ds.rowsize,
>>> colors=np.arange(len(ds.rowsize))
>>> )
>>> divider = make_axes_locatable(ax)
>>> cax = divider.append_axes('right', size='3%', pad=0.05)
>>> fig.colorbar(l, cax=cax)
To plot the same trajectories, but assigning a different color to each
data point based on a transformation of the time variable mapped onto
the ``inferno`` colormap:
>>> fig = plt.figure()
>>> ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
>>> time = [v.astype(np.int64) / 86400 / 1e9 for v in ds.time.values]
>>> l = plot_ragged(
>>> ax,
>>> ds.lon,
>>> ds.lat,
>>> ds.rowsize,
>>> colors=np.floor(time),
>>> cmap="inferno"
>>> )
>>> divider = make_axes_locatable(ax)
>>> cax = divider.append_axes('right', size="3%", pad=0.05)
>>> fig.colorbar(l, cax=cax)
Finally, to plot the same trajectories, but using a cartopy
projection:
>>> import cartopy.crs as ccrs
>>> fig = plt.figure()
>>> ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1, projection=ccrs.Mollweide())
>>> l = plot_ragged(
>>> ax,
>>> ds.lon,
>>> ds.lat,
>>> ds.rowsize,
>>> colors=np.arange(len(ds.rowsize)),
>>> transform=ccrs.PlateCarree(),
>>> cmap="Blues",
>>> )
>>> ax.set_extent([-180, 180, -90, 90])
>>> ax.coastlines()
>>> ax.gridlines(draw_labels=True)
>>> divider = make_axes_locatable(ax)
>>> cax = divider.append_axes('right', size="3%", pad=0.25, axes_class=plt.Axes)
>>> fig.colorbar(l, cax=cax)
Raises
------
ValueError
If longitude and latitude arrays do not have the same shape.
If colors do not have the same shape as longitude and latitude arrays or rowsize.
If ax is not a matplotlib Axes or GeoAxes object.
If ax is a GeoAxes object and the transform keyword argument is not provided.
ImportError
If matplotlib is not installed.
If the axis is a GeoAxes object and cartopy is not installed.
