Summary

Adds adjustText package to environment as an optional package to avoid label overlap in maps and adds regional labels to some maps.

Before:

After:

Technical details

Added labels to net import, technology capacity, and H2 capacity maps in single_case_plots.py:

Added labels to difference maps in compare_cases.py for both 2-case and multi-case comparison:

In hourly_plots.py, NaN values (such as for land-locked regions' offshore wind cf) are now colored white and unlabeled:

Implementation notes

I incorporated the adjust_text function into the existing reedsplots.label_region_value function for easy reuse.

Additional changes

• Changes absolute color map from cmocean rain to tempo

• Added outlines to sub-state regions in plot_diff_maps used for 2-case comparison in compare_cases.py
• Squashed a bug that didn't simplify techs to their maptechs groups in plot_diff_maps function in reedsplots.py
• Squashed small bugs in diagnostic_plots.py
  • Removed slashes from savenames that raised errors ("Oil/Gas Steam" tech)
  • Re-assigned dropped CRS

Validation, testing, and comparison report(s)

I compared USA_defaults run on this branch with a run from main. There were no changes in results, and a negligible increase in runtime (0.15 hours). Note that the difference in directory size is because I was saving vre_gen, max_cap, and load files from PRAS to run diagnostic_plots.py.

Checklist for author

Details to double-check

• Charge code provided to reviewers
• Included comparison reports for appropriate test cases
  - [ ] Documentation updated if necessary
• Code formatting standardized
• Reusable functions used where possible instead of copy/pasted code

General information to guide review

• Zero impact on results of default case
• No large data file(s) added/modified
• No substantive impact on runtime for full-US reference case
• No substantive impact on folder size for full-US reference case
• No change to process flow (runreeds.py, reeds/core/solve/solve.py)
• No change to code organization
• No change to package requirements (environment.yml or Project.toml): adjustText package added

Did you use LLM tools (chatbot or copilot) in the preparation of this PR? If so, describe how

Yes, I used Copilot to simplify techs to their maptechs groups in plot_diff_maps function in reedsplots.py. I attempted this change manually and couldn't find a more elegant solution.

Thanks Claire and sorry for the slow followup. Some high-level questions first and then I'll take another closer look.

[patrickbrown4]

Thanks and sorry for the slow response. Some minor suggestions (happy to chat if helpful) but overall it looks good. Thanks for reorganizing to make the new package optional.

Hi Claire, thanks for this PR update - love the new colors!

Small correction - I believe the fontsize parameter was changed to a dictionary entry in the new text_kwargs parameter:

Suggested change

	reedsplots.label_region_value(dfplot, ax=ax[coords[case]], column="GW", fontsize=5)
	reedsplots.label_region_value(dfplot, ax=ax[coords[case]], column="GW", text_kwargs={'fontsize': 5})

This would also need to be fixed in the other call to reedsplots.label_region_value() below
