pygmt.Figure.shift_origin

Figure.shift_origin(xshift=None, yshift=None)

Shift plot origin in x and/or y directions.

This method shifts the plot origin relative to the current origin by (xshift, yshift). Optionally, append the length unit (c, i, or p). Default unit if not given is c for centimeters.

Prepend a to shift the origin back to the original position after plotting, prepend c to center the plot on the center of the paper (optionally add shift), prepend f to shift the origin relative to the fixed lower left corner of the page, or prepend r [Default] to move the origin relative to its current location.
