Figure 2. The PyGMT Ecosystem

[seisman]

Here is an initial draft of the PyGMT ecosystem diagram, intended as Figure 2 in the paper. The current version of the diagram is created using PowerPoint, but it will be redrawn using PyGMT in the final version of the paper.

PPTX: PyGMT-Fig2.pptx

Design principles:

• Left side: Represents the GMT world, colored in GMT red. From bottom to top: low-level library to high-level interface.
• Right side:
  • Represents the Python ecosystem, colored in Python blue.
  • From bottom to top: fundamental packages (NumPy, PyArrow), general high-level packages (pandas, xarray), geoscience-specific packages (rioxarray, geopandas).
  • Dashed box means optional
• Center: The PyGMT logo, as a bridge between GMT and Python
• Bidirectional arrows: indicate data flows back and forth between GMT, PyGMT and Python
