What should I use to stack two grdimages on top of each other such that they are parallel?

[anirudh]

I have been plotting two separate grids using grdimage in two separate pygmt plots, but for easy comparison purpose I need to stack these two images such that they appear in 3D pov with one being parallel to each other with some vertical distance in between them.

Note: Both the grids are of same region extent and projection, just the physical property each showcase is different.

The simplest way is to use the (PyGMT corresponding of) -X option.

I’m guessing that you’ll want something like this - https://polartoolkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how_to/3D_plotting.html#3D-stack-of-grids

You would need to use a combination of fig.grdview and fig.shift_origin.
