Dear All,
I am trying to use an input file for the legend on my map (attached).fault_legend.dat (237 Bytes)
I did the command:
fig.legend(spec=r'D:\Inves\MT\map_data\fault_legend.dat',
position="jTR+o0.1c", box=True)
However I get the following error:
GMTCLibError: Module ‘legend’ failed with status code 79:
legend [ERROR]: Must specify -D…+w if codes other than D, H, L, S, V are used
Is the error related to input file?, would you mind give me some tips on it.
Stay safe and best regards,
Tonino
Hi Tonino:
The error indicated that you must specify -D…+w, so you just add: position=“jTR+o0.1c+w3.5c”
You can adjust the “+w3.5c” to change the size of the box.
I just tried to plot the legend file and I got the result below:

Dear @Truyenpt,
Is there a way to specify the color for the lines at the legend box?. I tried with the following line:
S 0.25c - 0.5c magenta thin 0.7c Mandeyapecua
but it keeps like black line, any suggestions?
Stay safe and best regards
Tonino
Hi Tonino:
You can try this code:
S 0.25c - 0.5c - 2.0p, red 0.7c Mandeyapecua
Cheers!
