Addition of geographic information

[jmb64]

** Feature request**
Hi Maximilian,

Lexcube is very interesting. I played with the web interface a little bit (https://www.lexcube.org/?!esdc-3.0.2/air_temperature_2m/0-1976/0-718/596-1312) and also with a sample ocean model output of temperature (a 4D dataset) in a jupyter lab framework. Working with geophysical fields mostly (coupled atmosphere and ocean model) it would be useful to be able to add coastlines and coordinates gridlines.

** Solution **
Something similar to cartopy coastlines feature and gridlines.
(ex. latitude and latitude gridlines at specific intervals, i.e like regular 10 degrees.
Same thing for vertical z coordinates, ex depth at 10m intervals, ...)

Just an example ...

Hi jmb64, thanks for your report! I am working on a feature that allows to overlay OSM data over the 3D cube. I will consider gridlines and coast lines as additional options, now that you brought this to my attention 😄

Great! I look forward to the new developments discussed at the end of the paper
(Lexcube: Interactive Visualization of Large Earth System Data Cubes), i.e. scientific analysis
features (fig5-6) , integration with python libraries, 3D rendering ... Neat stuff.
