3D plots

6. 3D plots#

PolarToolkit also supports some 3D plotting. Here we will download a dataset and make a simple 3D perspective plot.

Import the necessary modules

[1]:

from polartoolkit import fetch, maps

Download a grid of Antarctic surface elevation data from REMA

[2]:

surface = fetch.rema()

Use the plot_3d function to make a perspective image.

[3]:

fig = maps.plot_3d(
    grids=surface,
    cmaps="earth",
    exaggeration=2,
    cbar_labels="surface elevation (m)",
)
fig.show(dpi=200)
