map_area_gallery

map_area_gallery()

New in metview-python version 1.8.0

Generates a gallery of the built-in map areas in a Jupyter notebook.

The list of available areas depends on the actual style configuration. By default, when no custom style configuration is loaded, the area list comprises:

  • the core areas available under the area_name parameter in geoview()

  • the area called “base”, which is the same as the “global” core area

All the area names can be used with make_geoview() to create map-based views, e.g.:

view = mv.make_geoview(area="pacific")

Additionally, the core areas (these are highlighted in orange in the gallery) can be used in geoview() too, e.g.:

view = mv.geoview(area_mode="user", area_name="central_europe")

The default map area gallery looks like this:
