Features
--------

* compose axes grids to juxtapose a complete plot with data subsets or magnified subregions
* render grid axes as overlaid insets
* draw elegant zoom indicators with publication-ready default styling
* enjoy a familiar, data-oriented interface --- with full feature sets inherited directly from seaborn
* abstract away handling of padding and aspect ratios
* fine-tune appearance and layout with extensive styling options and bundled numbering/symbol library
* use hooks to inject custom functionality, like numbering/symbols and layout tweaks

Install
-------

``python3 -m pip install outset``

Basic Usage
-----------

Use ``outset.OutsetGrid`` to compose source plot with zoom panels on an axes grid.
Zoom sections can be *a)* designated manually or *b)* inferred to bound data subsets.
To overlay zoom panels onto source plot, *c)* call ``outset.inset_outsets``.

a) Create ``OutsetGrid``, Explicit Zoom Areas
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   .. code:: python

      from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
      import numpy as np
      import outset as otst
      import seaborn as sns
      # adapted from # https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/
      i, a, b, c, d = np.arange(0.0, 2*np.pi, 0.01), 1, 7, 3, 11

      # 3 axes grid: source plot and two zoom frames
      grid = otst.OutsetGrid([(-10, 8, -8, 12), (-5, 5, -1, 3)])  # frame coords
      grid.broadcast(plt.plot,  # run plotter over all axes
         np.sin(i*a)*np.cos(i*b) * 20, np.sin(i*c)*np.cos(i*d) * 20,  # line coords
         c="k", zorder=-1)  # kwargs forwarded to plt.plot

      grid.marqueeplot()  # set axlims and render marquee annotations

b) Create ``OutsetGrid``, Inferred Zoom Areas
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   .. code:: python

      grid = otst.OutsetGrid(data=sns.load_dataset("iris").dropna(),  # facet over axes grid
         x="petal_width", y="petal_length",
         col="species",  # create zoom panel for each species
         hue="species",  # color marquee annotations by species
         aspect=0.6, height=3)  # adjust axes grid geometry
      grid.map_dataframe(sns.scatterplot,  # map plotter over faceted data
         x="petal_width", y="petal_length", legend=False, zorder=0)

      grid.marqueeplot()   # set axlims and render marquee annotations
      grid.add_legend()  # add figure-level legend

   ..

c) Overlay Zoom Panels as Insets
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   .. code-block:: python

      grid = otst.OutsetGrid(data=sns.load_dataset("iris").dropna(),  # facet over axes grid
         x="petal_width", y="petal_length",
         col="species",  # put each species in its own outset
         hue="species",   # make different color marquees
         aspect=1.5, height=4)  # adjust axes grid geometry
      grid.map_dataframe(sns.scatterplot,  # map plotter over faceted data
         x="petal_width", y="petal_length", legend=False, zorder=0)

      grid.add_legend()  # add figure-level legend
      otst.inset_outsets(grid, insets="NW")  # inset outsets in upper-left corner
      grid.marqueeplot()  # set axlims and render marquee annotations

API Overview
------------

* |OutsetGrid|_: compose a source plot and zoom regions over it (e.g., "outsets") on a multiplot lattice

  * designate zoom regions directly, or as regions containing data subsets
  * object-oriented, "tidy data" interface a la ``seaborn.FacetGrid``

* |inset_outsets|_: rearrange an ``OutsetGrid`` to place outset zoom regions as insets over the original source axes

* |marqueeplot|_: axis-level "tidy data" interface to draw marquees framing specified subsets of data

* |draw_marquee|_: low-level interface to draw individual marquee annotations
