        Plot continents, shorelines, rivers, and borders on maps

        Plots grayshaded, colored, or textured land-masses [or water-masses] on
        maps and [optionally] draws coastlines, rivers, and political
        boundaries.  Alternatively, it can (1) issue clip paths that will
        contain all land or all water areas, or (2) dump the data to an ASCII
        table. The data files come in 5 different resolutions: (**f**)ull,
        (**h**)igh, (**i**)ntermediate, (**l**)ow, and (**c**)rude. The full
        resolution files amount to more than 55 Mb of data and provide great
        detail; for maps of larger geographical extent it is more economical to
        use one of the other resolutions. If the user selects to paint the
        land-areas and does not specify fill of water-areas then the latter
        will be transparent (i.e., earlier graphics drawn in those areas will
        not be overwritten).  Likewise, if the water-areas are painted and no
        land fill is set then the land-areas will be transparent.

        A map projection must be supplied.

        Parameters

        frame : str or list
            Set color bar boundary frame, labels, and axes attributes.
        {CPT}
        position : str
            ``[g|j|J|n|x]refpoint[+wlength[/width]][+e[b|f][length]][+h|v]
            [+jjustify][+m[a|c|l|u]][+n[txt]][+odx[/dy]]``. Defines the
            reference point on the map for the color scale using one of four
            coordinate systems: (1) Use *g* for map (user) coordinates, (2) use
            *j* or *J* for setting refpoint via a 2-char justification code
            that refers to the (invisible) map domain rectangle, (3) use *n*
            for normalized (0-1) coordinates, or (4) use *x* for plot
            coordinates (inches, cm, etc.). All but *x* requires both *region*
            and *projection* to be specified. Append +w followed by the length
            and width of the color bar. If width is not specified then it is
            set to 4% of the given length. Give a negative length to reverse
            the scale bar. Append +h to get a horizontal scale
            [Default is vertical (+v)]. By default, the anchor point on the
            scale is assumed to be the bottom left corner (BL), but this can be
            changed by appending +j followed by a 2-char justification code
            *justify*.
        box : bool or str
            ``[+cclearances][+gfill][+i[[gap/]pen]][+p[pen]][+r[radius]]
            [+s[[dx/dy/][shade]]]``. If set to True, draws a rectangular
            border around the color scale. Alternatively, specify a different
            pen with +ppen. Add +gfill to fill the scale panel [no fill].
            Append +cclearance where clearance is either gap, xgap/ygap, or
            lgap/rgap/bgap/tgap where these items are uniform, separate in x-
            and y-direction, or individual side spacings between scale and
            border. Append +i to draw a secondary, inner border as well. We use
            a uniform gap between borders of 2p and the MAP_DEFAULTS_PEN unless
            other values are specified. Append +r to draw rounded rectangular
            borders instead, with a 6p corner radius. You can override this
            radius by appending another value. Finally, append +s to draw an
            offset background shaded region. Here, dx/dy indicates the shift
            relative to the foreground frame [4p/-4p] and shade sets the fill
            style to use for shading [gray50].
        truncate : list or str
            ``zlo/zhi`` Truncate the incoming CPT so that the lowest and
            highest z-levels are to zlo and zhi. If one of these equal NaN then
            we leave that end of the CPT alone. The truncation takes place
            before the plotting.
        scale : float
            Multiply all z-values in the CPT by the provided scale. By default
            the CPT is used as is.
        shading : str or list or bool
            Add illumination effects. Passing a single numerical value sets the
            range of intensities from -value to +value. If not specified, 1 is
            used. Alternatively, set ``shading=[low, high]`` to specify an
            asymmetric intensity range from *low* to *high*. The default is no
            illumination.

        Project and plot grids or images.

        Reads a 2-D grid file and produces a gray-shaded (or colored) map by
        building a rectangular image and assigning pixels a gray-shade (or
        color) based on the z-value and the CPT file. Optionally, illumination
        may be added by providing a file with intensities in the (-1,+1) range
        or instructions to derive intensities from the input data grid. Values
        outside this range will be clipped. Such intensity files can be created

        be an image file (geo-referenced or not). In this case the image can

        rectangular grid with the same dimensions. Higher resolution images can
        be obtained by using the *dpi* option. To obtain the resampled value
        (and hence shade or color) of each map pixel, its location is inversely
        projected back onto the input grid after which a value is interpolated
        between the surrounding input grid values. By default bi-cubic
        interpolation is used. Aliasing is avoided by also forward projecting
        the input grid nodes. If two or more nodes are projected onto the same
        pixel, their average will dominate in the calculation of the pixel
        value. Interpolation and aliasing is controlled with the
        *interpolation* option.

        The *region* option can be used to select a map region larger or
        smaller than that implied by the extent of the grid.

        Parameters
        ----------
        grid : str or xarray.DataArray
            The file name or a DataArray containing the input 2-D gridded data
            set or image to be plotted (See GRID FILE FORMATS at
            :gmt-docs:`grdimage.html#grid-file-formats`).
        img_out : str
            ``out_img[=driver]``.
            Save an image in a raster format instead of PostScript. Use
            extension .ppm for a Portable Pixel Map format which is the only
            raster format GMT can natively write. For GMT installations
            configured with GDAL support there are more choices: Append
            *out_img* to select the image file name and extension. If the
            extension is one of .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, or .tif then no driver
            information is required. For other output formats you must append
            the required GDAL driver. The *driver* is the driver code name used
            by GDAL; see your GDAL installation's documentation for available
            drivers. Append a **+c**\\ *options* string where options is a list
            of one or more concatenated number of GDAL **-co** options. For
            example, to write a GeoPDF with the TerraGo format use
            ``=PDF+cGEO_ENCODING=OGC_BP``. Notes: (1) If a tiff file (.tif) is
            selected then we will write a GeoTiff image if the GMT projection
            syntax translates into a PROJ syntax, otherwise a plain tiff file
            is produced. (2) Any vector elements will be lost.
        {B}
        {CPT}
        img_in : str
            ``[r]``
            GMT will automatically detect standard image files (Geotiff, TIFF,
            JPG, PNG, GIF, etc.) and will read those via GDAL. For very obscure
            image formats you may need to explicitly set *img_in*, which
            specifies that the grid is in fact an image file to be read via
            GDAL. Append **r** to assign the region specified by *region*
            to the image. For example, if you have used ``region='d'`` then the
            image will be assigned a global domain. This mode allows you to
            project a raw image (an image without referencing coordinates).
        dpi : int
            ``[i|dpi]``.
            Sets the resolution of the projected grid that will be created if a
            map projection other than Linear or Mercator was selected [100]. By
            default, the projected grid will be of the same size (rows and
            columns) as the input file. Specify **i** to use the PostScript
            image operator to interpolate the image at the device resolution.
        bit_color : str
            ``color[+b|f]``.
            This option only applies when a resulting 1-bit image otherwise
            would consist of only two colors: black (0) and white (255). If so,
            this option will instead use the image as a transparent mask and
            paint the mask with the given color. Append **+b** to paint the
            background pixels (1) or **+f** for the foreground pixels
            [Default].
        shading : str
            ``[intensfile|intensity|modifiers]``.
            Give the name of a grid file with intensities in the (-1,+1) range,
            or a constant intensity to apply everywhere (affects the ambient
            light). Alternatively, derive an intensity grid from the input data
            grid via a call to `grdgradient`; append **+a**\\ *azimuth*,
            **+n**\\ *args*, and **+m**\\ *ambient* to specify azimuth,
            intensity, and ambient arguments for that module, or just give
            **+d** to select the default arguments (``+a-45+nt1+m0``). If you
            want a more specific intensity scenario then run `grdgradient`
            separately first. If we should derive intensities from another file
            than grid, specify the file with suitable modifiers [Default is no
            illumination].
        {J}
        monochrome : bool
            Force conversion to monochrome image using the (television) YIQ
            transformation. Cannot be used with *nan_transparent*.
        no_clip : bool
            Do not clip the image at the map boundary (only relevant for
            non-rectangular maps).
        nan_transparent : bool
            Make grid nodes with z = NaN transparent, using the color-masking
            feature in PostScript Level 3 (the PS device must support PS Level
            3).

        {aliases}

        Parameters
        ----------
        grid : str or xarray.DataArray
            The file name of the input relief grid or the grid loaded as a
            DataArray.

        zscale/zsize : float or str
            Set z-axis scaling or z-axis size.

        {B}

        cmap : str
            The name of the color palette table to use.

        drapegrid : str or xarray.DataArray
            The file name or a DataArray of the image grid to be draped on top
            of the relief provided by grid. [Default determines colors from
            grid]. Note that -Jz and -N always refers to the grid. The
            drapegrid only provides the information pertaining to colors, which
            (if drapegrid is a grid) will be looked-up via the CPT (see -C).

        plane : float or str
            ``level[+gfill]``.
            Draws a plane at this z-level. If the optional color is provided
            via the +g modifier, and the projection is not oblique, the frontal
            facade between the plane and the data perimeter is colored.

        surftype : str
            Specifies cover type of the grid.
            Select one of following settings:
            1. 'm' for mesh plot [Default].
            2. 'mx' or 'my' for waterfall plots (row or column profiles).
            3. 's' for surface plot.
            4. 'i' for image plot.
            5. 'c'. Same as 'i' but will make nodes with z = NaN transparent.
            For any of these choices, you may force a monochrome image by
            appending the modifier +m.

        contourpen : str
            Draw contour lines on top of surface or mesh (not image). Append
            pen attributes used for the contours.
        meshpen : str
            Sets the pen attributes used for the mesh. You must also select -Qm
            or -Qsm for meshlines to be drawn.
        facadepen :str
            Sets the pen attributes used for the facade. You must also select
            -N for the facade outline to be drawn.

        shading : str
            Provide the name of a grid file with intensities in the (-1,+1)
            range, or a constant intensity to apply everywhere (affects the
            ambient light). Alternatively, derive an intensity grid from the
            input data grid reliefgrid via a call to ``grdgradient``; append
            ``+aazimuth``, ``+nargs``, and ``+mambient`` to specify azimuth,
            intensity, and ambient arguments for that module, or just give
            ``+d`` to select the default arguments (``+a-45+nt1+m0``).

        {aliases}

        Parameters
        ----------
        x/y : float or 1d arrays
            The x and y coordinates, or arrays of x and y coordinates of the
            data points
        data : str or 2d array
            Either a data file name or a 2d numpy array with the tabular data.
            Use option *columns* (i) to choose which columns are x, y, color,
            and size, respectively.
        sizes : 1d array
            The sizes of the data points in units specified in *style* (S).
            Only valid if using *x* and *y*.
        direction : list of two 1d arrays
            If plotting vectors (using ``style='V'`` or ``style='v'``), then
            should be a list of two 1d arrays with the vector directions. These
            can be angle and length, azimuth and length, or x and y components,
            depending on the style options chosen.
        {J}
        {R}
        straight_line : bool or str
            ``[m|p|x|y]``.
            By default, geographic line segments are drawn as great circle
            arcs. To draw them as straight lines, use *straight_line*.
            Alternatively, add **m** to draw the line by first following a
            meridian, then a parallel. Or append **p** to start following a
            parallel, then a meridian. (This can be practical to draw a line
            along parallels, for example). For Cartesian data, points are
            simply connected, unless you append **x** or **y** to draw
            stair-case curves that whose first move is along *x* or *y*,
            respectively.
        {B}
        {CPT}
        offset : str
            ``dx/dy``.
            Offset the plot symbol or line locations by the given amounts
            *dx/dy* [Default is no offset]. If *dy* is not given it is set
            equal to *dx*.
        error_bar : bool or str
            ``[x|y|X|Y][+a][+cl|f][+n][+wcap][+ppen]``.
            Draw symmetrical error bars. Full documentation is at
            :gmt-docs:`plot.html#e`.
        connection : str
            ``[c|n|r][a|f|s|r|refpoint]``.
            Alter the way points are connected (by specifying a *scheme*) and
            data are grouped (by specifying a *method*). Append one of three
            line connection schemes:

            - **c** : Draw continuous line segments for each group [Default].
            - **r** : Draw line segments from a reference point reset for each
              group.
            - **n** : Draw networks of line segments between all points in
              each group.

            Optionally, append the one of four segmentation methods to define
            the group:

            - **a** : Ignore all segment headers, i.e., let all points belong
              to a single group, and set group reference point to the very
              first point of the first file.
            - **f** : Consider all data in each file to be a single separate
              group and reset the group reference point to the first point of
              each group.
            - **s** : Segment headers are honored so each segment is a group;
              the group reference point is reset to the first point of each
              incoming segment [Default].
            - **r** : Same as **s**, but the group reference point is reset
              after each record to the previous point (this method is only
              available with the ``connection='r'`` scheme).

            Instead of the codes **a**|**f**|**s**|**r** you may append the
            coordinates of a *refpoint* which will serve as a fixed external
            reference point for all groups.
        {G}
        intensity : float or bool
            Provide an *intens* value (nominally in the -1 to +1 range) to
            modulate the fill color by simulating illumination [None]. If
            using ``intensity=True``, we will instead read *intens* from the
            first data column after the symbol parameters (if given).
        close : str
            ``[+b|d|D][+xl|r|x0][+yl|r|y0][+ppen]``.
            Force closed polygons. Full documentation is at
            :gmt-docs:`plot.html#l`.
        no_clip : bool or str
            ``'[c|r]'``.
            Do NOT clip symbols that fall outside map border [Default plots
            points whose coordinates are strictly inside the map border only].
            The option does not apply to lines and polygons which are always
            clipped to the map region. For periodic (360-longitude) maps we
            must plot all symbols twice in case they are clipped by the
            repeating boundary. ``no_clip=True`` will turn off clipping and not
            plot repeating symbols. Use ``no_clip="r"`` to turn off clipping
            but retain the plotting of such repeating symbols, or use
            ``no_clip="c"`` to retain clipping but turn off plotting of
            repeating symbols.
        style : str
            Plot symbols (including vectors, pie slices, fronts, decorated or
            quoted lines).
        {W}
        {U}
        {V}
        {XY}
        zvalue : str
            ``value|file``.
            Instead of specifying a symbol or polygon fill and outline color
            via **color** and **pen**, give both a *value* via **zvalue** and a
            color lookup table via **cmap**.  Alternatively, give the name of a
            *file* with one z-value (read from the last column) for each
            polygon in the input data. To apply it to the fill color, use
            ``color='+z'``. To apply it to the pen color, append **+z** to
            **pen**.
        columns : str or 1d array
            Choose which columns are x, y, color, and size, respectively if

        """
        Plot lines, polygons, and symbols in 3-D.

        Takes a matrix, (x,y,z) triplets, or a file name as input and plots
        lines, polygons, or symbols at those locations in 3-D.

        Must provide either *data* or *x*, *y* and *z*.

        If providing data through *x*, *y* and *z*, *color* can be a 1d array
        that will be mapped to a colormap.

        If a symbol is selected and no symbol size given, then plot3d will
        interpret the fourth column of the input data as symbol size. Symbols
        whose size is <= 0 are skipped. If no symbols are specified then the
        symbol code (see *style* below) must be present as last column in the
        input. If *style* is not used, a line connecting the data points will
        be drawn instead. To explicitly close polygons, use *close*. Select a
        fill with *color*. If *color* is set, *pen* will control whether the
        polygon outline is drawn or not. If a symbol is selected, *color* and
        *pen* determines the fill and outline/no outline, respectively.

        Full option list at :gmt-docs:`plot3d.html`

        {aliases}

        Parameters
        ----------
        x/y/z : float or 1d arrays
            The x, y, and z coordinates, or arrays of x, y and z coordinates of
            the data points
        data : str or 2d array
            Either a data file name or a 2d numpy array with the tabular data.
            Use option *columns* (i) to choose which columns are x, y, z,
            color, and size, respectively.
        sizes : 1d array
            The sizes of the data points in units specified in *style* (S).
            Only valid if using *x*, *y* and *z*.
        direction : list of two 1d arrays
            If plotting vectors (using ``style='V'`` or ``style='v'``), then
            should be a list of two 1d arrays with the vector directions. These
            can be angle and length, azimuth and length, or x and y components,
            depending on the style options chosen.
        {J}
        zscale/zsize : float or str
            Set z-axis scaling or z-axis size.
        {R}
        straight_line : bool or str
            ``[m|p|x|y]``.
            By default, geographic line segments are drawn as great circle
            arcs. To draw them as straight lines, use *straight_line*.
            Alternatively, add **m** to draw the line by first following a
            meridian, then a parallel. Or append **p** to start following a
            parallel, then a meridian. (This can be practical to draw a line
            along parallels, for example). For Cartesian data, points are
            simply connected, unless you append **x** or **y** to draw
            stair-case curves that whose first move is along *x* or *y*,
            respectively. **Note**: The **straight_line** option requires
            constant *z*-coordinates.
        {B}
        {CPT}
        offset : str
            ``dx/dy[/dz]``.
            Offset the plot symbol or line locations by the given amounts
            *dx/dy*[*dz*] [Default is no offset].
        {G}
        intensity : float or bool
            Provide an *intens* value (nominally in the -1 to +1 range) to
            modulate the fill color by simulating illumination [None]. If
            using ``intensity=True``, we will instead read *intens* from the
            first data column after the symbol parameters (if given).
        close : str
            ``[+b|d|D][+xl|r|x0][+yl|r|y0][+ppen]``.
            Force closed polygons. Full documentation is at
            :gmt-docs:`plot3d.html#l`.
        no_clip : bool or str
            ``[c|r]``.
            Do NOT clip symbols that fall outside map border [Default plots
            points whose coordinates are strictly inside the map border only].
            The option does not apply to lines and polygons which are always
            clipped to the map region. For periodic (360-longitude) maps we
            must plot all symbols twice in case they are clipped by the
            repeating boundary. ``no_clip=True`` will turn off clipping and not
            plot repeating symbols. Use ``no_clip="r"`` to turn off clipping
            but retain the plotting of such repeating symbols, or use
            ``no_clip="c"`` to retain clipping but turn off plotting of
            repeating symbols.
        no_sort : bool
            Turn off the automatic sorting of items based on their distance
            from the viewer. The default is to sort the items so that items in
            the foreground are plotted after items in the background.
        style : str
            Plot symbols. Full documentation is at :gmt-docs:`plot3d.html#s`.
        {U}
        {V}
        {W}
        {XY}
        zvalue : str
            ``value|file``.
            Instead of specifying a symbol or polygon fill and outline color
            via **color** and **pen**, give both a *value* via **zvalue** and a
            color lookup table via **cmap**.  Alternatively, give the name of a
            *file* with one z-value (read from the last column) for each
            polygon in the input data. To apply it to the fill color, use
            ``color='+z'``. To apply it to the pen color, append **+z** to
            **pen**.
        label : str
            Add a legend entry for the symbol or line being plotted.
        {p}
        {t}
            *transparency* can also be a 1d array to set varying transparency

        - *position* and *text*

        Full option list at :gmt-docs:`text.html`

        {aliases}

        Parameters
        ----------
        textfiles : str or list
            A text data file name, or a list of filenames containing 1 or more
            records with (x, y[, angle, font, justify], text).
        x/y : float or 1d arrays
            The x and y coordinates, or an array of x and y coordinates to plot
            the text
        position : str
            Sets reference point on the map for the text by using x,y
            coordinates extracted from *region* instead of providing them
            through *x* and *y*. Specify with a two letter (order independent)
            code, chosen from:

            * Horizontal: L(eft), C(entre), R(ight)
            * Vertical: T(op), M(iddle), B(ottom)

            For example, position="TL" plots the text at the Upper Left corner
            of the map.
        text : str or 1d array
            The text string, or an array of strings to plot on the figure
        angle: int, float, str or bool
            Set the angle measured in degrees counter-clockwise from
            horizontal. E.g. 30 sets the text at 30 degrees. If no angle is
            explicitly given (i.e. angle=True) then the input textfile(s) must
            have this as a column.
        font : str or bool
            Set the font specification with format "size,font,color" where size
            is text size in points, font is the font to use, and color sets the
            font color. E.g. "12p,Helvetica-Bold,red" selects a 12p red
            Helvetica-Bold font. If no font info is explicitly given (i.e.
            font=True), then the input textfile(s) must have this information
            in one of its columns.
        justify : str or bool
            Set the alignment which refers to the part of the text string that
            will be mapped onto the (x,y) point. Choose a 2 character
            combination of L, C, R (for left, center, or right) and T, M, B for
            top, middle, or bottom. E.g., BL for lower left. If no
            justification is explicitly given (i.e. justify=True), then the
            input textfile(s) must have this as a column.
        {J}
        {R}
        clearance : str
            ``[dx/dy][+to|O|c|C]``
            Adjust the clearance between the text and the surrounding box
            [15%]. Only used if *pen* or *fill* are specified. Append the unit
            you want ('c' for cm, 'i' for inch, or 'p' for point; if not given
            we consult 'PROJ_LENGTH_UNIT') or '%' for a percentage of the
            font size. Optionally, use modifier '+t' to set the shape of the
            textbox when using *fill* and/or *pen*. Append lower case 'o' to
            get a straight rectangle [Default]. Append upper case 'O' to get a
            rounded rectangle. In paragraph mode (*paragraph*) you can also
            append lower case 'c' to get a concave rectangle or append upper
            case 'C' to get a convex rectangle.
        fill : str
            Sets the shade or color used for filling the text box [Default is
            no fill].
        offset : str
            ``[j|J]dx[/dy][+v[pen]]``
            Offsets the text from the projected (x,y) point by dx,dy [0/0]. If
            dy is not specified then it is set equal to dx. Use offset='j' to
            offset the text away from the point instead (i.e., the text
            justification will determine the direction of the shift). Using
            offset='J' will shorten diagonal offsets at corners by sqrt(2).
            Optionally, append '+v' which will draw a line from the original
            point to the shifted point; append a pen to change the attributes
            for this line.
        pen : str
            Sets the pen used to draw a rectangle around the text string
            (see *clearance*) [Default is width = default, color = black,
            style = solid].
        no_clip : bool
            Do NOT clip text at map boundaries [Default is False, i.e. will
            clip].

            Currently, labeling of beachballs with text strings is only

        {aliases}

        Parameters
        ----------
        spec: dict, 1D array, 2D array, pd.DataFrame, or str
            Either a filename containing focal mechanism parameters as columns,
            a 1- or 2-D array with the same, or a dictionary. If a filename or
            array, `convention` is required so we know how to interpret the
            columns/entries. If a dictionary, the following combinations of
            keys are supported; these determine the convention. Dictionary
            may contain values for a single focal mechanism or lists of
            values for many focal mechanisms. A Pandas DataFrame may
            optionally contain columns latitude, longitude, depth,
            plot_longitude,
            and/or plot_latitude instead of passing them to the meca method.

            - ``"aki"`` — *strike, dip, rake, magnitude*
            - ``"gcmt"`` — *strike1, dip1, rake1, strike2, dip2, rake2,
              mantissa, exponent*
            - ``"mt"`` — *mrr, mtt, mff, mrt, mrf, mtf, exponent*
            - ``"partial"`` — *strike1, dip1, strike2, fault_type, magnitude*
            - ``"principal_axis"`` — *t_exponent, t_azimuth, t_plunge,
              n_exponent, n_azimuth, n_plunge, p_exponent, p_azimuth, p_plunge,
              exponent*

        scale: str
            Adjusts the scaling of the radius of the beachball, which is
            proportional to the magnitude. Scale defines the size for
            magnitude = 5 (i.e. scalar seismic moment M0 = 4.0E23 dynes-cm)
        longitude: int, float, list, or 1d numpy array
            Longitude(s) of event location. Ignored if `spec` is not a
            dictionary. List must be the length of the number of events.
            Ignored if `spec` is a DataFrame and contains a 'longitude' column.
        latitude: int, float, list, or 1d numpy array
            Latitude(s) of event location. Ignored if `spec` is not a
            dictionary. List must be the length of the number of events.
            Ignored if `spec` is a DataFrame and contains a 'latitude' column.
        depth: int, float, list, or 1d numpy array
            Depth(s) of event location in kilometers. Ignored if `spec` is
            not a dictionary. List must be the length of the number of events.
            Ignored if `spec` is a DataFrame and contains a 'depth' column.
        convention: str
            ``"aki"`` (Aki & Richards), ``"gcmt"`` (global CMT), ``"mt"``
            (seismic moment tensor), ``"partial"`` (partial focal mechanism),
            or ``"principal_axis"`` (principal axis). Ignored if `spec` is a
            dictionary or dataframe.
        component: str
            The component of the seismic moment tensor to plot. ``"full"`` (the
            full seismic moment tensor), ``"dc"`` (the closest double couple
            with zero trace and zero determinant), ``"deviatoric"`` (zero
            trace)
        plot_longitude: int, float, list, or 1d numpy array
            Longitude(s) at which to place beachball, only used if `spec` is a
            dictionary. List must be the length of the number of events.
            Ignored if `spec` is a DataFrame and contains a 'plot_longitude'
            column.
        plot_latitude: int, float, list, or 1d numpy array
            Latitude(s) at which to place beachball, only used if `spec` is a
            dictionary. List must be the length of the number of events.
            Ignored if `spec` is a DataFrame and contains a 'plot_latitude'
            column.
        offset: bool or str
            Offsets beachballs to the longitude, latitude specified in
            the last two columns of the input file or array,
            or by `plot_longitude` and `plot_latitude` if provided. A small
            circle is plotted at the initial location and a line connects
            the beachball to the circle. Specify pen and optionally append
            ``+ssize`` to change the line style and/or size of the circle.
        no_clip : bool
            Does NOT skip symbols that fall outside frame boundary specified by
