Add gallery example for plotting an RGB image from an xarray.DataArray #2641

weiji14 · 2023-08-25T06:38:53Z

Description of proposed changes

Gallery example using pygmt.Figure.grdimage to plot an RGB image from a 3-band GeoTIFF loaded into an xarray.DataArray via rioxarray.open_rasterio. Example is over Lāhainā, Hawai'i on 9 Aug 2023.

Followup from #2590.

Reminders

Run make format and make check to make sure the code follows the style guide.
Add tests for new features or tests that would have caught the bug that you're fixing.
Add new public functions/methods/classes to doc/api/index.rst.
Write detailed docstrings for all functions/methods.
If wrapping a new module, open a 'Wrap new GMT module' issue and submit reasonably-sized PRs.
If adding new functionality, add an example to docstrings or tutorials.
Use underscores (not hyphens) in names of Python files and directories.

Slash Commands

You can write slash commands (/command) in the first line of a comment to perform
specific operations. Supported slash commands are:

/format: automatically format and lint the code

Had to use the composite character @!a\225 to plot ā following https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/6.4/tutorial/session-2.html#plotting-text-strings, because the character ā is in ISO-8859-4, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%80

I think that's fine. Maybe it's possible to avoid that the letters are too close to each other by using another font style?

Agree with @michaelgrund, these unequally spaced letters are a bit strange. Looking at the example at https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/6.4/tutorial/session-2.html#gmt-tut-10, using the font Times-Roman does not lead to unequally spaced letters.

Agree that the spacing looks weird. I've changed the font to Times-Roman at b516c19 and it looks a bit better now:

Note that the docs build for this example segfaults on both Readthedocs and Ubuntu, see e.g. https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/actions/runs/5972759386/job/16203804119?pr=2641#step:7:82. Running this locally, I actually get a segfault too on the first run, but running cd doc && make all a second time works. Not quite sure what the problem is.

Makes the unequal spacing before and after the ā less obvious.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BBOkina. Using octal code 140 instead of 047 on the plot title for Hawaiʻi, so that it looks like a 6 instead of a 9, but unsure if this is still the correct Okina symbol.

Changed to using \140 instead of \047 as it looks a bit closer to the Okina ʻ letter (U+02BB) (see also #1474 (comment)). Now it looks like this:

If anyone has ideas on how to use the actual Okina letter, let me know! I did try using ʻ directly, but it shows up like this:

The 1:100000 scale means 1 centimetre on the map is equivalent to 1 kilometre on the ground.

This GeoTiff file is almost 1 GB, which is too big to download.

The next line overview_level=5 gets a reduced resolution version. Original image has shape (y: 115712, x: 99328), but at overview_level=5, the shape is (y: 1808, x: 1552).

The non-octal code versions are much easier to see. Co-Authored-By: Dongdong Tian <[email protected]>

Opening the GeoTIFF in a with statement, and loading the RGB image data fully into memory using `image.load()` as suggested in corteva/rioxarray#550 (comment), which should fix the segfault hopefully.

Running .load() should fix the segfault? See corteva/rioxarray#550 (comment), and we actually use dataarray.load() in the pygmt.load_dataarray() function in #1439.

Yep, it works! See https://pygmt-dev--2641.org.readthedocs.build/en/2641/gallery/images/rgb_image.html

Is it possible to make this work as a link to https://corteva.github.io/rioxarray/stable/rioxarray.html#rioxarray.open_rasterio?

If this is not easy to do, then we leave it as is. At least in the code example below, the link works.
