Plotting different process variables on already existing Matplotlib figures / axes
==================================================================================

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

This tutorial covers plotting meshseries data using user defined matplotlib
objects for figure and / or axes. This is useful if different plotting functions
ogstools are to be used on different subplots within the same figure.

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 13-22

.. code-block:: Python

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    import ogstools as ogs
    from ogstools import examples

    meshseries = examples.load_meshseries_THM_2D_PVD()

    ogs.plot.setup.combined_colorbar = False

Compare different variables
----------------------------

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 27-29

It is possible to plot various variables in different subplots of the
same figure:

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 29-35

.. code-block:: Python


    fig, ax = plt.subplots(2, 1, figsize=(15, 15))
    meshseries.mesh(0).plot_contourf(ogs.variables.temperature, fig=fig, ax=ax[0])
    meshseries.mesh(1).plot_contourf(ogs.variables.displacement, fig=fig, ax=ax[1])
    fig.tight_layout()

Plot two time steps and their difference
----------------------------------------

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 40-43

We can use the same approach to plot the difference between different time
steps can be plotted. Color bars can be drawn automatically, if user provides
both Figure and Axes objects:

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 43-58

.. code-block:: Python


    fig, ax = plt.subplots(3, 1, figsize=(20, 30))

    meshseries.mesh(0).plot_contourf(ogs.variables.temperature, fig=fig, ax=ax[0])
    meshseries.mesh(1).plot_contourf(ogs.variables.temperature, fig=fig, ax=ax[1])
    diff_mesh = meshseries.mesh(1).difference(
        meshseries.mesh(0), ogs.variables.temperature
    )


    diff_mesh.plot_contourf(ogs.variables.temperature, fig=fig, ax=ax[2])
    ax[0].set_title(r"$T(\mathrm{t}_{0})$")
    ax[1].set_title(r"$T(\mathrm{t}_{end})$")
    ax[2].set_title(r"$T(\mathrm{t}_{end})$-$T(\mathrm{t}_{0})$")
    fig.tight_layout()
