This release merges the core functionality of earthkit-maps into earthkit-plots; earthkit-maps will be deprecated in favour of having a single visualisation library for plotting both geospatial data and statistical data.
Following this release, earthkit-plots gains all of the functionality from earthkit-maps, including:
- geospatial visualisations
- shortcuts and convenience methods which reduce the amount of code you need to write to produce a high-quality visualisation
- formatting of titles and labels using templates which understand a wide range of common metadata standards
- creating and swappong out style libraries based on your organisation, project or personal choice
- automatic styling of data variables based on metadata detection, including unit detection.
