Color land and water
The land
and water
parameters of pygmt.Figure.coast
specify
a color to fill in the land and water masses, respectively. There are many
color codes in GMT, including standard GMT color
names (like "skyblue"
), R/G/B levels (like "0/0/255"
), a hex value
(like "#333333"
), and a gray level (like "gray50"
).
