- 
mpas_analysis.shared.plot.add_inset(fig, fc, latlonbuffer=45.0, polarbuffer=5.0, width=1.0, height=1.0, lowerleft=None, xbuffer=None, ybuffer=None, maxlength=1.0)[source]¶ Plots an inset map showing the location of a transect or polygon. Shapes are plotted on a polar grid if they are entirely poleward of +/-50 deg. latitude and with a lat/lon grid if not.
- Parameters
 - fig
matplotlib.figure.Figure A matplotlib figure to add the inset to
- fc
geometric_features.FeatureCollection A collection of regions, transects and/or points to plot in the inset
- latlonbufferfloat, optional
 The number of degrees lat/lon to use as a buffer around the shape(s) to plot if a lat/lon plot is used.
- polarbufferfloat, optional
 The number of degrees latitude to use as a buffer equatorward of the shape(s) in polar plots
- width, heightfloat, optional
 width and height in inches of the inset
- lowerleftpair of floats, optional
 the location of the lower left corner of the axis in inches, default puts the inset in the upper right corner of
fig.- xbuffer, ybufferfloat, optional
 right and top buffers from the top-right corner (in inches) if lowerleft is
None.- maxlengthfloat or 
None, optional Any segments longer than maxlength will be subdivided in the plot to ensure curvature. If
None, no subdivision is performed.
