Parameter explanations for `tilt_map`

[bniebuhr]

Hi,

I am having a hard time testing and understanding what does it mean to stretch and tilt a map with tilt_map. Therefore I suggest there is a little more explanation on what each parameter of the function mean and maybe a few more examples. How much they vary, within which ranges? What is the meaning of a higher or lower value for each parameter? What is the reference if I want a map which is not rotated/tilted/shifted?

I came to this suggestion because I am trying to plot a series of maps, but with no rotation/tilting, I want to keep maps just as they are (ploting as if I did plot(x)) but still plot a pile of them, one in front of another. How can I do it?

Hi! Regarding what I needed to do, I found it is possible if I add a parameter angle_rotation to tilt_map to also control for whether the geometries should be rotated or not. Please see PR #13 and the exemple therein.

Yet, I believe there is still need to better document the meaning of different values for the tilt_map parameters.
