Hi all,
I’m having an interesting issue with plotting a colorbar. The tick marks are not aligning to the correct place on the color scale and thus there is some text that is well off the scale. You will see that I have plotted three insets below the main figure (I couldn’t quite get subplot to work for me). The colorbar is part of the middle inset, yet the 2000 annotation plots near the right inset. Based on the cpt which i set to go from 5000 to 2000, the 1000’s should be placed on the actual bar.
Secondary question: Can I set the height of a geographic map with the Mercator projection?
Tertiary Question: How can I change the thickness of the black box plotted around the colorbar?
I am using GMT 6.4 currently.
I know the full things is lengthy, but I removed all the data, paths, and variables so it should work
