Add the anatomy of a figure tutorial

[leouieda]

Create the notebook and add it to the TOC. Start with creating a figure and adding coast line elements to it.

To add a title with multiple words, you must use single quotes '' on the outer string and double quotes "" around the title

FYI, as of PyGMT v0.6.0 (https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/pull/1487), spaces are allowed in the titles, i.e. "+tCoastlines around Japan" would work. So you can remove this important note :wink:

I noticed while doing this actually! But the docs said that they were mandatory so I thought it might just be something about my setup. Good to know!

Hi all, this is ready for a review. The content is probably a bit too much for 20 minutes but I think it will fit. I'll do a trial recording now to see how it goes. Any feedback would be appreciated. I can make a final recording later after feedback.

Looks pretty good! Just a couple of suggestions:

1. Bring some of the headings up a level. I.e. make h2->h1 and h3->h2. E.g. instead of ### Adding minor ticks, do ## Adding minor ticks so that they show up on the right sidebar. Or if you know of a jupyter-book setting to show h3 headings, I'm all ears!
2. I kinda feel like you could decrease the region's xmin a bit, maybe something like region = [125, 155, 30, 55] to make Japan a bit more centred in the middle of the map?

Alright, made the changes suggested by @weiji14 (thanks!) and made a recording: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fsalumnpgzz4ix6/egu22-pygmt-first-figure.mp4?dl=0

It's at a little over 21 min. I can try to do some cuts to get it down to 20 min if needed. Any feedback would be great!

The recording looks great, honestly couldn't find anything major to nitpick on, and I think you've explained the basic PyGMT/GMT concepts really well :smile: 21min should be ok for now, let's see how long the other presentations are and we can trim it to <= 20min if needed.

If you clear the notebook cells and push another commit, I can approve and get this merged into the main branch.

Hi Leo. Congrats, very nice tutorial indeed. I was surprised though with one part of it. When you painted the land in lightgreen with the single command fig.coast(land="lightgreen") the figure came out with both painted land and ocean. How is that possible?

@weiji14 done 👍🏾

@joa-quim thanks! The figure is built dynamically so that call is adding to a pre-existing figure that already had the water. No magic there 🙂
