ClimaCorePlots

Plots.jl recipes for visualizing ClimaCore Field / Space datastructures.

Use ClimaCorePlots from the ClimaCore parent package

cd ClimaCore
julia --project

Activate the Pkg repl mode and dev the ClimaCorePlots subpackge:

(ClimaCore) pkg> dev lib/ClimaCorePlots

You can now use ClimaCorePlots in your ClimaCore pkg environment:

julia> using ClimaCorePlotss

To visualize a ClimaCore object, you fist need to install a Plots.jl backend:

(@v1.7) pkg> add Plots # (default GR backend)
(@v1.7) pkg> add Plots, PlotlyJS

Then load in the backend:

julia> using Plots
julia> gr() # or plotlyjs(),  ....

Finally call plot:

julia> plot(field, ...)

Consult the Plots.jl documentation for more information regarding setting attributes, backends, or saving output.

Development of the ClimaCorePlots subpackage

cd ClimaCore/lib/ClimaCorePlots

# Add ClimaCore to subpackage environment
julia --project -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.develop(path="../../")

# Instantiate ClimaCorePlots project environment
julia --project -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()'
julia --project -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.test()'
