Ideas and suggestions for next edition #32

Open Esteban82 opened 2 years ago

Esteban82 commented 2 years ago

Based on the questions of the students I think that in the next edition we should show:

  1. an example with a shp files. Maybe one from GADM (its licence says "The data are freely available for academic use.").
  2. how to work with the user-dir?
  3. the DCW-collections.
  4. how to add a north and scale (basemap -Td and -L).
  5. add transparency (-t)

Other suggestions to discuss:

  1. Add legends?
  2. how to work with makecpt ?
  3. how to add text on the map (gmt text)?

Also I think that we maybe show how to project earthquakes on a profile in order to get something like this. It is more advanced but it is an UNAVCO course and I think that could be usefull for many students.
