geo layout attributes only visible in subplots tab

[cldougl]

It took me a pretty long time/a few tries to find the geo attributes (projection, map options, ) when creating a map, it looks like those options are currently available in the Subplot tab:

I'm not sure if this is a bug or was intended but can we consider adding these features to one of the style tabs, I don't think it makes sense in the subplots section as users won't visit that section when plotting only a single trace

This is by design because these are subplot level attrs... ie you can have two maps so we can’t put them in style didn’t put them in Style/Axes

We could consider a Style/Geo panel though, now that we have the logic to show/hide panels based on plot contents

[cldougl]

In that case perhaps there could be a message similar to the subplot message to push users over there when creating a map, however I think a geo panel makes a little more sense. It would be interesting to know if it's more common to make a single map or subplot maps.

Certainly it’s more common to make a single map of course

But we can’t just prevent the editing of multiple subplot options just because of that :)

sure, but it seems like in that case it would be useful to have a message similar to that posted when creating subplots directing to that tab:

though imo a geo tab would be the best solution as it does seem counterintuitive to style geo attributes for a single map in the subplot tab

Let's go with a Style/Geo tab that hides if there are no scattergeo or choropleth traces and contains a subplot-accordion for just the geo subplots.
