PyGMT logo

Beside the GMT logo, there is a separate PyGMT logo which can be plotted and added to a figure using pygmt.Figure.pygmtlogo. The design of the logo itself is kindly provided by @sfrooti and consists of a visual and the wordmark “PyGMT”.

The visual logo is available in circle and hexagon shapes. It supports both colored and monochrome black-and-white palettes, alongside light and dark theme modes, combining to yield 8 distinct standalone icon variants. Additionally, the visual logo can optionally include the wordmark “PyGMT”; if enabled, the wordmark can be positioned either to the right of the icon or beneath it.

import pygmt
from pygmt.params import Frame

Plot the PyGMT logo without any arguments:

fig = pygmt.Figure()
fig.pygmtlogo()
fig.show()

Via the color, theme, shape parameters the appereance of the logo can be changed:

fig = pygmt.Figure()
fig.basemap(region=[-1, 1] * 2, projection="X5c/5c", frame=Frame(fill="180/199/231"))

fig.pygmtlogo(color=False, position="TL")

fig.pygmtlogo(theme="dark", position="TR")

fig.pygmtlogo(color=False, theme="dark", position="BL")

fig.pygmtlogo(shape="hexagon", position="BR")

fig.show()

Via the wordamrk parameter the text “PyGMT” can be added on the right side or at the bottom of the visual:

fig = pygmt.Figure()
fig.basemap(region=[-1, 1] * 2, projection="X7c/5c", frame=Frame(fill="180/199/231"))

fig.pygmtlogo(wordmark="horizontal", position="TC", width="6c")

fig.pygmtlogo(theme="dark", wordmark="vertical", position="BC", height="3c")

fig.show()
