Shared axes
===========

.. sectionauthor:: Feliks Kiszkurno (Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research GmbH - UFZ)

In this example we show how to create filled contourplots on a figure with
subplots having shared axes.

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 12-13

Import packages, load example data set and define often used variables.

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    import ogstools as ogs
    from ogstools import examples

    meshseries = examples.load_meshseries_THM_2D_PVD()
    mesh_0 = meshseries.mesh(0)
    mesh_1 = meshseries.mesh(1)
    variable = ogs.variables.temperature

If you pass multiple meshes to :py:func:`ogstools.plot.contourf`
by default both x and y axes will shared. Thus, only the outer axes get
axes labels and tick label.

    fig = ogs.plot.contourf([mesh_0, mesh_1], variable)

On user defined figure and axis the axis belonging to specific subplot has to
be passed. For technical reasons, the axes label are present on all subplots.

    diff_b = mesh_1.difference(mesh_0, variable)

For custom figures, If they should only be present on the outer axes, they
have to be adapted manually:
