Found 1 changed notebook. Review the changes at https://app.gitnotebooks.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt-paper-figures/pull/8 |
@yvonnefroehlich What about extending this example to include more basemap types? Below are four basemaps that can fit in a 2x2 subplot layout.
Users unfamiliar with GMT can get a first impression of the types of basemaps PyGMT offers, while experienced GMT users can discover that PyGMT supports tilemap-style basemaps. Please let me know that you think and I'd like to help if you don't have time to work on it. |
There is already an example for
Just tried the crustal age dataset, as this one is interesting for the area of Island.
I just added the other two maps for the region Island. Feel free to modify the codes, including choosing another area or dataset and re-ordering the maps. |
I prefer to use the following figure generated by #4 as our Figure 2. It's similar to the one in PR #1, but for a global region. Then in this example, a regional coastline-style base map makes more sense.
Thanks. My suggestions are:

Do you want a proper satellite image (e.g. Sentinel-3 or MODIS), or just use Blue Marble |
@yvonnefroehlich In panel (a) or (b), could you please add a scale bar or a directional rose, and also use the Box class adding a box around it. This will be an example demonstrating the Box class introduded in v0.17.0. |
Maybe just use UTM projection to demonstrate that GMT supports both lon/lat and UTM? |
@yvonnefroehlich Here are my three suggestions:
I prefer to removing these variables to keep the script simpler and more readable. |
It seems you accidently deleted all the codes in the notebook. Please add it back. |
This reverts commit 4468e4b.
Oh, no - strange, do not know what I did 🙁. But the codes should be back in commit d3fa667. |
