mapvector: lonlatbox and density don't work together about psy-maps HOT 5 CLOSED

@victoria-cherkas could you please provide a netcdf file to reproduce this issue?

from psy-maps.

I tried with the test netcdf file in this repo and I think the problem is in the autoscaling of the axes which is the default option for map_extent.

as a workaround, you can set the map_extend value to "data" to stick to the lonlatbox, e.g.

sp = psy.plot.mapvector("test-t2m-u-v.nc", name=[["u", "v"]], density=10, lonlatbox="Europe", map_extent="data")

I need to have a closer look to see if that issue comes from psyplot or cartopy.

from psy-maps.

but just to be sure @victoria-cherkas

what you get is something like

and what you expect is something like

is this correct?

from psy-maps.

Hi Philipp, Yes exactly that is what I'd expect, as in your images. I will try the map_extent=data as you suggest

from psy-maps.

Your work around works, using map_extent= 'data' and lonlatbox, thanks. Equally I can just use map_extent.
