Multi-layer spatial plots
=========================

Generate spatial map with multiple layers of 2D fields.

.. admonition:: References

   General functionality is provided using the following :doc:`CSET recipes </usage/operator-recipes>`:

   * ``multi_surface_spatial_plot_sequence.yaml`` for 3-layer plots (base layer, masked overlay layer, contour layer)
   * ``multi_overlay_spatial_plot_sequence.yaml`` for base-layer pcolormesh with masked overlay layer pcolormesh
   * ``multi_contour_spatial_plot_sequence.yaml`` for base-layer pcolormesh with contour layer

   The following CSET operators are used:

   * :py:mod:`CSET.operators.read.read_cubes`
   * :py:mod:`CSET.operators.filters.generate_mask`
   * :py:mod:`CSET.operators.filters.apply_mask`
   * :py:mod:`CSET.operators.plot.spatial_multi_pcolormesh_plot`.

Using *cset bake* on the command line
-------------------------------------

* Access recipe file using ``cset cookbook``.
* Set required recipe inputs on command line.

Example to generate 3-layer full-domain spatial maps of ``temperature_at_screen_level``, with masked overlay of ``microphysical_surface_rainfall_rate`` showing only values greater than or equal to 0.05, and additional contour layer of ``air_pressure_at_sea_level`` for all output times::

    cset cookbook multi_surface_spatial_plot_sequence.yaml
    cset -v bake -i "/path/to/input/data" -o "./output_path" \\
                 -r multi_surface_spatial_plot_sequence.yaml \\
                 --VARNAME_BASE="temperature_at_screen_level" \\
                 --VARNAME_OVER="surface_microphysical_rainfall_rate" \\
                 --OVERLAY_MASK_CONDITION="ge" \\
                 --OVERLAY_MASK_VALUE="0.05" \\
                 --VARNAME_CONTOUR="air_pressure_at_mean_sea_level" \\
                 --MODEL_NAME="my_model_label" \\
                 --METHOD="SEQ" \\
                 --SUBAREA_TYPE='None' --SUBAREA_EXTENT='None' --SUBAREA_NAME='None'

Similar 2-layer (base, overlay) examples can be generated using recipe ``multi_overlay_spatial_plot_sequence.yaml`` for outputs with only ``VARNAME_BASE`` and ``VARNAME_OVER`` shown.

Alternatively, 2-layer (base, contour) examples can be generated using recipe ``multi_contour_spatial_plot_sequence.yaml`` for outputs with only ``VARNAME_BASE`` and ``VARNAME_CONTOUR`` shown.


Configuring the *cset_workflow*
-------------------------------

* Update workflow configuration settings via ``rose edit`` GUI or in ``rose-suite.conf`` file.
* Complete ``General setup options`` and ``Cycling and Model options`` details - see :doc:`/usage/workflow-configure`.
* Set required configuration options on ``Diagnostics / Multi-variable plots`` panel
* A list of different variables can be specified as python lists to generate multiple different output plot combinations using the same workflow run.
* If all variables are set, 3-layer plots are generated. If either ``OVERLAY`` or ``CONTOUR`` variables are not set, the relevant 2-layer outputs are generated.
