Hi everyone, I want to use the density map to count the pixel values in the image data, can pygmt plot the density map? As shown in the figure below: ![Figure_2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex047/uploads/gmt/original/2X/2/2906e1d45e1deb6e0bf26364b79a07caf34f6ed1.png) The image data is as follows: [data.tif](https://forum.generic-mapping-tools.org/uploads/short-url/uAOmcJ20INpbEheVME6thFu3V3u.tif) (156.7 KB) ---
