"""
A GMT figure to handle all plotting.
Use the plotting methods of this class to add elements to the figure. You
can preview the figure using :meth:`pygmt.Figure.show` and save the figure
to a file using :meth:`pygmt.Figure.savefig`.
Unlike traditional GMT figures, no figure file is generated until you call
:meth:`pygmt.Figure.savefig` or :meth:`pygmt.Figure.psconvert`.
Examples
--------
>>> fig = Figure()
>>> fig.basemap(region=[0, 360, -90, 90], projection="W7i", frame=True)
>>> fig.savefig("my-figure.png")
>>> # Make sure the figure file is generated and clean it up
>>> import os
>>> os.path.exists("my-figure.png")
True
>>> os.remove("my-figure.png")
The plot region can be specified through ISO country codes (for example,
``'JP'`` for Japan):
>>> fig = Figure()
>>> fig.basemap(region="JP", projection="M3i", frame=True)
>>> # The fig.region attribute shows the WESN bounding box for the figure
>>> print(", ".join("{:.2f}".format(i) for i in fig.region))

"""
Convert [E]PS file(s) to other formats.
Converts one or more PostScript files to other formats (BMP, EPS, JPEG,
PDF, PNG, PPM, SVG, TIFF) using GhostScript.
If no input files are given, will convert the current active figure
(see :func:`pygmt.figure`). In this case, an output name must be given
using parameter *prefix*.
Full option list at :gmt-docs:`psconvert.html`
{aliases}
Parameters
----------
crop : str or bool
Adjust the BoundingBox and HiResBoundingBox to the minimum required
by the image content. Append ``u`` to first remove any GMT-produced
time-stamps. Default is True.
gs_option : str
Specify a single, custom option that will be passed on to
GhostScript as is.
dpi : int
Set raster resolution in dpi. Default = 720 for PDF, 300 for
others.
prefix : str
Force the output file name. By default output names are constructed
using the input names as base, which are appended with an
appropriate extension. Use this option to provide a different name,
but without extension. Extension is still determined automatically.
icc_gray : bool
Enforce gray-shades by using ICC profiles.
anti_aliasing : str
Set the anti-aliasing options for graphics or text. Append the size
of the subsample box (1, 2, or 4) [4]. Default is no anti-aliasing
(same as bits = 1).
fmt : str
Sets the output format, where *b* means BMP, *e* means EPS, *E*
means EPS with PageSize command, *f* means PDF, *F* means
multi-page PDF, *j* means JPEG, *g* means PNG, *G* means
transparent PNG (untouched regions are transparent), *m* means PPM,
*s* means SVG, and *t* means TIFF [default is JPEG]. To ``'bjgt'``
you can append ``'+m'`` in order to get a monochrome (grayscale)
image. The EPS format can be combined with any of the other
formats. For example, ``'ef'`` creates both an EPS and a PDF file.
Using ``'F'`` creates a multi-page PDF file from the list of input
PS or PDF files. It requires the *prefix* option.

"""
Save the figure to a file.
This method implements a matplotlib-like interface for
:meth:`~gmt.Figure.psconvert`.
Supported formats: PNG (``.png``), JPEG (``.jpg``), PDF (``.pdf``),
BMP (``.bmp``), TIFF (``.tif``), EPS (``.eps``), and KML (``.kml``).
The KML output generates a companion PNG file.
You can pass in any keyword arguments that
:meth:`~gmt.Figure.psconvert` accepts.
Parameters
----------
fname : str
The desired figure file name, including the extension. See the list
of supported formats and their extensions above.
transparent : bool
If True, will use a transparent background for the figure. Only
valid for PNG format.
crop : bool
If True, will crop the figure canvas (page) to the plot area.
anti_alias: bool
If True, will use anti aliasing when creating raster images (PNG,
JPG, TIf). More specifically, uses options ``Qt=2, Qg=2`` in
:meth:`~gmt.Figure.psconvert`. Ignored if creating vector graphics.
Overrides values of ``Qt`` and ``Qg`` passed in through ``kwargs``.
show: bool
If True, will open the figure in an external viewer.
dpi : int
Set raster resolution in dpi. Default is 720 for PDF, 300 for
others.

Display a preview of the figure.
Inserts the preview in the Jupyter notebook output. You will need to
have IPython installed for this to work. You should have it if you are
using the notebook.
If ``method='external'``, makes PDF preview instead and opens it in the
default viewer for your operating system (falls back to the default web
browser). Note that the external viewer does not block the current
process, so this won't work in a script.
Parameters
----------
dpi : int
The image resolution (dots per inch).
width : int
Width of the figure shown in the notebook in pixels. Ignored if
``method='external'``.
method : str
How the figure will be displayed. Options are (1) ``'static'``: PNG
preview (default); (2) ``'external'``: PDF preview in an external

Shift plot origin in x and/or y directions.
This method shifts plot origin relative to the current origin by

plotting, prepend **c** to center the plot on the center of the paper
