sunpy.visualization.wcsaxes_compat Module¶

This module provides functions to make WCSAxes work in SunPy.

Functions¶

`is_wcsaxes`(axes)	Tests a `matplotlib.axes.Axes` object to see if it is an instance of `WCSAxes`.
`gca_wcs`(wcs[, fig, slices])	Get the current axes, and return a `WCSAxes` if possible.
`get_world_transform`(axes)	Get the transformation to world coordinates.
`default_wcs_grid`(axes)	Apply some default `WCSAxes` grid formatting.
`wcsaxes_heliographic_overlay`(axes[, …])	Create a heliographic overlay using `WCSAxes`.
