DOC/projections: Consistent design of examples #3458

Closed yvonnefroehlich closed 1 month ago

yvonnefroehlich commented 1 month ago

While working on PR #3451 I was wondering whether we should use a consistent design for all projection examples, especially the identical colors for land and water masses. I feel generating all examples in the same design looks better and more professional.

Current version Suggested update 01 (one design for all examples) Suggested update 02 (one design per category)

In the GMT 4 cookbook (https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt/gmt/html/GMT_Docs.html#x1-990006), most projection examples are in white and black/gray. I guess Paul and others updated these examples to make them more eye-catching and also demonstrate how to specify colors by different ways in GMT.

I prefer to keep these examples unchanged, but let's hear from other people's thoughts.

Interesting (I started with GMT 5.x). Maybe having one color per category is a compromise here?

Not bad.

Ping at the other @GenericMappingTools/pygmt-maintainers for their thoughts🙂.

Yep, I'm ok with one color per category too (but not that yellow-ish palette please).
