pygmt.Figure.logo

Figure.logo(*, region=None, projection=None, position=None, box=None, style=None, verbose=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/6.5/gmtlogo.html.

Aliases:

D = position F = box J = projection

R = region S = style V = verbose

c = panel t = transparency

Parameters:

• projection (str) – projcode[projparams/]width|scale. Select map projection.

• region (str or list) – xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax[+r][+uunit]. Specify the region of interest.

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

• box (bool or str) – If set to True, draw 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

• verbose (bool or str) – Select verbosity level [Full usage].

• panel (bool, int, or list) – [row,col|index]. Select 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 (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).
