Hello everyone! I’m making some plots for a publication, and need them to be consistent in text size with the ones made through matplotlib. I’ve set the font size through pygmt.config, but I don’t know the reference size of the image in order to guarantee it’s scaled correctly in the manuscript. How can I get that information (or set it)? If I understand correctly, setting the size through basemap doesn’t set the size of the full image, only the map part.
Thank you very much!
I don’t think it’s possible in GMT or PyGMT. Maybe just save the image and check the width/height information from file properties?
As far as I know, it is possible to get the region of your plot directly and you can store it in a variable as an array.
Running verbose="i" within Figure.show gives you the “Figure dimensions” as output in your console, but the output cannot be directly stored in a variable. For these values, the frame annotations are also considered.
import pygmt
fig = pygmt.Figure()
fig.basemap(region=[-10, 10, 40, 50], projection="M5c", frame=True)
# fig.basemap(region=[-10, 10, 40, 50], projection="M5c", frame=0)
fig.show(verbose="i")
get_region = fig.region
print(get_region)
Output
for frame=True
