r"""
Shift plot origin in x and/or y directions.
This method shifts the plot origin relative to the current origin by *xshift* and
*yshift* in x and y directions, respectively. Optionally, append the length unit
(**c** for centimeters, **i** for inches, or **p** for points) to the shifts.
Default unit if not explicitly given is **c**, but can be changed to other units via
:gmt-term:`PROJ_LENGTH_UNIT`.
For *xshift*, a special character **w** can also be used, which represents the
bounding box **width** of the previous plot. The full syntax is
[[±][*f*]\ **w**\ [/\ *d*\ ]±]\ *xoff*, where optional signs, factor *f* and divisor
*d* can be used to compute an offset that may be adjusted further by ±\ *xoff*.
Assuming that the previous plot has a width of 10 centimeters, here are some example
values for *xshift*:
- ``"w"``: x-shift is 10 cm
- ``"w+2c"``: x-shift is 10+2=12 cm
- ``"2w+3c"``: x-shift is 2*10+3=23 cm
- ``"w/2-2c"``: x-shift is 10/2-2=3 cm
Similarly, for *yshift*, a special character **h** can also be used, which is the
bounding box **height** of the previous plot.
**Note**: The previous plot bounding box refers to the last object plotted, which
may be a basemap, image, logo, legend, colorbar, etc.
Parameters
----------
xshift
Shift plot origin in x direction.
yshift
Shift plot origin in y direction.
Examples
--------
>>> import pygmt
>>> fig = pygmt.Figure()
>>> fig.basemap(region=[0, 10, 0, 10], projection="X10c/10c", frame=True)
>>> # Shift the plot origin in x direction by 12 cm
>>> fig.shift_origin(xshift=12)
>>> fig.basemap(region=[0, 10, 0, 10], projection="X14c/10c", frame=True)
>>> # Shift the plot origin in x direction based on the previous plot width
>>> # Here, the width is 14 cm, and xshift is 16 cm
>>> fig.shift_origin(xshift="w+2c")
>>> fig.show()
