Examples from PyGMT v0.3.1 seem to show lat/lon axis ticks being labeled as just numbers, whereas the versions after that produce axis ticks that show the lat/lon as well as the associated cardinal direction. How can I remove the cardinal direction from the axis ticks in the current version of PyGMT?
Axis ticks in PyGMT v0.3.1:
Axis ticks in PyGMT v0.4.0+:
The changes in the axis annotations are due to the changes in default settings (classic vs modern themes, https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/latest/theme-settings.html) of the GMT 6.2.0 release.
To change the annotations to the previous behavior, you can simply change the FORMAT_GEO_MAP parameter:
pygmt.config(FORMAT_GEO_MAP="ddd:mm:ss")
Thank you! I suspected it was that pygmt.config command and was playing around with it but didn’t fully understand how to combine the various parameters to get what I wanted.
