Bringing Magics Weather maps to Matplotlib

Magics is ECMWF’s meteorological plotting software that supports plotting contours, wind fields, observations, satellite images, symbols, text, axis and graphs. 

The project aims to utilize the power, flexibility and extensibility of the python library matplotlib (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib) to improve the drivers for ECMWF’s magics-python library (https://github.com/ecmwf/magics-python). 

These improvements would allow the users to create more customizable and interactive plots. This project also aims to continue the development of ECMWF’s magpye (https://github.com/ecmwf/magpye), which provides a more pythonic and user-friendly API to magics. 

The final aim is to create resources such as tutorials and documentation for magics and magpye.
