apply_layout

Maps.apply_layout(layout)

Set the positions of all axes within the current plot based on a previously defined layout.

To apply a layout, use:

>>> l = m.get_layout()
>>> m.set_layout(l)

To save a layout to disc and apply it at a later stage, use

>>> m.get_layout(filepath=<FILEPATH>)
>>> m.set_layout(<FILEPATH>)

Note

The returned list is only a snapshot of the current layout. It can only be re-applied to a given figure if the order at which the axes are created remains the same!

Parameters

layout (dict, str or pathlib.Path) –

If a dict is provided, it is directly used to define the layout.

If a string or a pathlib.Path object is provided, it will be used to read a previously dumped layout (e.g. with m.get_layout(filepath))
