PyGMT logo

Beside the GMT logo, there is a specific logo for PyGMT 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 an icon 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 eight distinct standalone logo 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.basemap(region=[-1, 1] * 2, projection="X5c/5c", frame=Frame(fill="180/199/231"))

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

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

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