DOC: add example aligning Cartopy and Matplotlib axes #2502
Conversation

One thing that might be nice is to use the data from one of the scalar_data examples and plot what the zonal mean is of that actual function. Would it be worth adding a meridional mean below the axes as well, or would that add too much complexity with multiple to/from functions then? |

@rcomer, I see you moved this to draft. Do you still want to add this in? I think we should add more helpful examples like this! |
|
Thanks @greglucas yes, I had intended to follow up on your previous comment, but creative juices are not really flowing at the moment. I'm not sure when I'm going to get to it. |
|
👍 Sounds good. I am personally happy with the way this is now, and don't think we need to get hung up on getting everything perfect / implemented right away. So I'd be fine merging this and then when your creativity strikes again updating this example or adding another one. |

Thanks @rcomer! We can follow up with further improvement as inspiration strikes, no rush here :) |
Rationale
Added a new gallery example adapted from #1498 (comment). I switched to using
inset_axesas that reliably vertically aligns the two axes, which didn't always happen with the subplots approach. Also re-ordered the code a bit and reduced the number of projections. I have no strong opinion on how many and which projections to include, although I couldn't figure out how to get the right numbers of latitude lines for the Orthographic case without manually specifying them, and I'd rather not get into that kind of detail.I'm not 100% sure which category this belongs under. For now it is under "gridlines and labels" because they are part of what we are lining up.
