Zorder of Scalebar and North Arrow Not Set

[MickeyRush]

Thanks for this useful toolbox. I noticed that although a zorder variable is assigned in the code, this zorder is not passed to matplotlib anywhere. I've added a couple calls to artist.set_zorder(zorder) on my end – I could do a pull request if that would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi @MickeyRush, can you elaborate on your issue a little further, or perhaps give me some sample code / example images to look at?

Iirc, ScaleBar does not take a zorder argument, and is instead fixed at zorder=99 by the code here. NorthArrow does something similar, though each individual component of the NorthArrow does take a zorder argument, mainly to ensure the the elements are correctly stacked on top of each other.

As I type this out, I'm realizing that this may pose an issue for those using the scale_bar and north_arrow functions instead of the class system - there isn't a way to provide a zorder in these cases, and I don't think it is being set to 99 either!

All that to say: if you provide a little bit more info as to what your problem is + how you're fixing it, I'm happy to implement a fix or accept your pull on the matter.

(Glad you're finding it useful so far! Always open to suggestions)

@MickeyRush I've just uploaded v3.1.0 to pypi, which adds support for a zorder argument. Please reference the appropriate documentation for the artist in docs/howto_* for details on how to use it (but it should be straightforward).
