🔦 Utilities

Some helpful utility widgets can be added to a map via Maps.util.

Maps.util

A collection of utility tools that can be added to EOmaps plots.

Layer switching

To simplify switching between layers, there are currently 2 widgets available:

m.util.layer_selector() : Add a set of clickable LayerSelector buttons to the map that activates the corresponding layers.
m.util.layer_slider() : Add a LayerSlider to the map that iterates through the available layers.

By default, the widgets will show all available layers (except the “all” layer) and the widget will be automatically updated whenever a new layer is created on the map.

To show only a subset of layers, provide an explicit list via: layers=[...layer names...].
To exclude certain layers from the widget, use exclude_layers=[...layer-names to exclude...]
To remove a previously created widget s from the map, simply use s.remove()

`layer_selector`	A button-widget that can be used to select the displayed plot-layer.
`layer_slider`	Get a slider-widget that can be used to switch between layers.

from eomaps import Maps
m = Maps(layer="coastline")
m.add_feature.preset.coastline()

m2 = m.new_layer(layer="ocean")
m2.add_feature.preset.ocean()

s = m.util.layer_selector()
