the picture of two dimensional map plots on the rectangle of the plane they lie in, to be shown in a 3D scene

Syntax

pic = mapPicture([(plotEBSD, ebsdSlice, (), {})])

The phase map of a slice in space.

pic = mapPicture(sources, pixels=400)

A coarser picture.

Description

The plots are drawn by their own commands, one over the other, into an axes filling a figure pyplot does not know, so that every option of the map plots holds in space too; white, where nothing was measured, is transparent. The picture keeps its sources, so that a map in the same plane is drawn into it rather than beside it. A held figure does this itself when a map of another plane is plotted into it.

Input

sources a list of (plotFun, map, args, kw), the plot commands of maps in one plane

Keywords

keyword default description
pixels 1600 the length of the picture’s longer side in pixels

Output

pic picture3d, the image with the corners it spans in space
