pygmt.Figure.logo

Figure.logo(region=None, projection=None, position=None, box=None, style=None, timestamp=None, verbose=None, xshift=None, yshift=None, panel=None, transparency=None, **kwargs)

Plot the GMT logo.

By default, the GMT logo is 2 inches wide and 1 inch high and will be positioned relative to the current plot origin. Use various options to change this and to place a transparent or opaque rectangular map panel behind the GMT logo.

Full option list at https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/latest/gmtlogo.html.

Aliases:

• D = position

• F = box

• J = projection

• R = region

• S = style

• U = timestamp

• V = verbose

• X = xshift

• Y = yshift

• c = panel

• t = transparency

Parameters

• projection (str) – Required if this is the first plot command. projcode[projparams/]width. Select map projection.

• region (str or list) – Required if this is the first plot command. xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax[+r][+uunit]. Specify the region of interest.

• position (str) – [g|j|J|n|x]refpoint+wwidth[+jjustify][+odx[/dy]]. Sets reference point on the map for the image.

• box (bool or str) – Without further arguments, draws a rectangular border around the GMT logo.

• style (str) –

  [l|n|u]. Control what is written beneath the map portion of the logo.

  • l to plot the text label “The Generic Mapping Tools” [Default]

  • n to skip the label placement

  • u to place the URL to the GMT site

• timestamp (bool or str) – Draw GMT time stamp logo on plot.

• verbose (bool or str) –

  Select verbosity level [Default is w], which modulates the messages written to stderr. Choose among 7 levels of verbosity:

  • q - Quiet, not even fatal error messages are produced

  • e - Error messages only

  • w - Warnings [Default]

  • t - Timings (report runtimes for time-intensive algorithms);

  • i - Informational messages (same as verbose=True)

  • c - Compatibility warnings

  • d - Debugging messages

• xshift (str) – [a|c|f|r][xshift]. Shift plot origin in x-direction.

• yshift (str) – [a|c|f|r][yshift]. Shift plot origin in y-direction. Full documentation is at https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/latest/gmt.html#xy-full.

• panel (bool or int or list) – [row,col|index]. Selects a specific subplot panel. Only allowed when in subplot mode. Use panel=True to advance to the next panel in the selected order. Instead of row,col you may also give a scalar value index which depends on the order you set via autolabel when the subplot was defined. Note: row, col, and index all start at 0.

• transparency (int or float) – Set transparency level, in [0-100] percent range. Default is 0, i.e., opaque. Only visible when PDF or raster format output is selected. Only the PNG format selection adds a transparency layer in the image (for further processing).
