Higher-level plotting methods for scale bar, map direction rose and magnetic rose? #2831
Comments
I agree that separate methods for scale bar, direction rose, and magnetic rose are more user-friendly. Especially they are easier to find for new users. I remember myself searching for a separate GMT module to add a scale bar (similar to adding a colorbar) until I figured out that this is included in the

The basemap and coast modules provide the exactly same options for adding scale bars (
-L
), direction rose (-Td
) and magnetic rose (-Tm
) to maps.I think it's more intuitive if we can provide three different higher-level plotting methods, e.g.,
Figure.scale_bar
,Figure.direction_rose
,Figure.magnatic_rose
?I'll take the
Figure.scale_bar
as an example. The-L
full syntax is:and the function definition will be like:
Of course, we also need to decide what to do with the
box
parameter.Thoughts?
