raphaelquast/EOmaps: EOmaps v8.4

A new minor release that brings a lot of fixes and a few nice new features!

🌦️ Changes

• Minimum supported python version is now python>=3.9
• You can now add multiple temporary artists with a single call with the following methods: (Note that the "layer" kwarg is now keyword-only!)
  • m.BM.add_artist(*artists, layer="my layer")
  • m.BM.add_bg_artist(*artists, layer="my layer")
  • m.cb.<method>.add_temporary_artist(*artists, layer="my layer")

🌳 New

• New convenience methods:
  • m.new_subplot() to add an ordinary matpltolib subplot.
  • m.transform_lonlat_to_plot() to quickly transform coordinate-values from lon/lat to the plot-crs
  • m.transform_plot_to_lonlat() to quickly tansform coordinate-values from the plot-crs to lon/lat
• New contextmanager: m.cb.<event-type>.make_artists_temporary() to simplify the use of temporary artists in callbacks. Just create your temporary artists within the callback and to have them removed on the next <event-type> event (e.g. "click", "pick", "keypress" or "move").
• New WebMap service provided by the city of Vienna (data.wien.gv.at) is accessible via: m.add_wms.Austria.Wien_data...
• You can now use pip install eomaps[docs] to install all required dependencies to build the docs
• Additional kwargs passed to m.add_logo() are now forwarded to plt.imshow() to customize the appearance of the logo
• m.set_extent_to_location() now supports the additional buffer kwarg to enlarge the set extent
