Doubt about my local map frame

Q&A PyGMT Q&A
1

Hi,

I try to plot my local region but the map frame shows another disturbed region. I think I have selected the correct projection but I get the same result.

This is my code:

import pygmt

reg = [-71.70, -71.25, 3.65, 4]

fig = pygmt.Figure()
proj = 'T-73/4/6i'

fig.coast(
            region=reg,
            projection=proj,
            shorelines=True,
            land="white",
            water='gray',
            # water='white',
            borders='1/1p,black',
            frame="af",
        )
fig.show()

I want to plot this region [-71.70, -71.25, 3.65, 4] but the map frame shows another.

Could you please help me to solve this problem?
Thanks for your support

Projection parameter is -J
E.g. for a cartesian plot : -JX(size)

The region is controlled with -R
E.g -R(lon1)/(lon2)/(lat1)/(lat2)

Thanks for your participation @PlanetGus .

I understand your contribution. But the problem persists.
The region I used earlier has map units.

The region in the figure is exactly what you requested. What do you mean by “another”? You want the annotation not to be in degrees and minutes? If so, then you need to play with the GMT default settings for FORMAT_GEO_MAP.

Thanks!, I am so sorry. I was not seeing correctly the format in which it was presented.
As you mentioned, I need to change the GMT default settings.
Thank you again. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
