Figure Tools¶

Figure layout, axes linking, interactive controls — the plumbing for good-looking multi-panel figures.

Layout¶

Task	Use
Lay out an `M × N` grid with controlled margins	`figdesign()`
Open a full-screen figure	`fullfig()`
Add panel labels (A, B, C, …)	`letter_label()`
Add a figure-level title/labels across subplots	`outertitle()`, `outerlabels()`
Merge multiple figures into one	`mergefigures()`
Prep a figure for print / page export	`pagefig()`
Find the most-square subplot grid for N panels	`squarest_subplots()`

Axes linking & limits¶

Task	Use
Link color axes across a set of axes	`linkcaxes()`
Link 3-D camera + xyz limits across axes	`linkaxes3d()`
Match X/Y limits across axes	`equalize_axes()`
Scale color limits to an inner percentile	`climscale()`
Set color limits manually	`clims()`

Colorbars & annotations¶

Task	Use
Add a colorbar that doesn’t resize the parent axes	`colorbar_noresize()`
Add a colorbar along the top	`topcolorbar()`
Draw a scale bar on an axis	`scaleline()`
Add a shadow / secondary axis	`shadow_axis()`
Split an axis into multiple panels	`split_axis()`

Interaction¶

Task	Use
Interactive scroll/zoom/pan with mouse + keyboard	`scrollzoompan()`
Capture user clicks on a figure	`get_clicks()`
Pop up a slice picker UI	`slicepopup()`
Zoom so content fills the axes	`zoom_fill()`
Build a stacked-plot control	`stacked_plot()`
