Antarctic-Plots#
Functions to automate Antarctic data visualization
Early-stages of development
This package is in early stages of development! This means that we are still adding a lot of new features and sometimes we make changes to the ones we already have while we try to improve the software based on users’ experience, test new ideas, make better design decisions, etc. Some of these changes could be backwards incompatible. Keep that in mind before you update Antarctic-Plots to a newer version.
The Antarctic-Plots python package provides some basic tools to help in conducting Antarctic research. You can use it to download common datasets (i.e. BedMachine, Bedmap2, MODIA MoA), create maps and plots specific to Antarctica, and visualize data with multiple methods.
Feel free to use, share, modify, and contribute to this project. I’ve mostly made this for personal usage so expect significant changes. Hopefully I’ll implement more tests and Gallery examples soon.
Project goals#
Below is a list of some features I hope to eventually include. Feel free to make a feature request through GitHub Issues.
Create 3D interactive models to help visualize data.
Include more Antarctic datasets to aid in download and storage.
Additional projections and possible support for the Arctic region as well.
How to contribute
I really welcome all forms of contribution! If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please open a discussion or issue (feature request) on the GitHub page!
Also, please feel free to share how you’re using Antarctic-Plots, I’d love to know.
Please, read our Contributor Guide to learn how you can contribute to the project.

Many parts of this documentation was adapted from the Fatiando project.
