Figure.pygmtlogo: Improved positioning of vertical wordmark for circular PyGMT logo

[seisman]

This is a follow-up PR to #4627. See PR #4627 for additional context.

The script demonstrates two different approaches for centering the wordmark beneath the visual logo. Version 1 is simpler, but the centering is only approximate. Version 2 uses the font metrics to achieve exact centering.

import pygmt
from pygmt.params import Position

pheight = 0.739  # Height of "P"
plsb = 0.076 # Left side bearing of "P"
pstroke = 0.0735  # Stroke thickness of "P"
ydesc = 0.192  # Descender depth of "y"
pygmtwidth = 3.262   # Full width of "PyGMT"

fontsize = 8 / pygmtwidth
# fontsize = 2.2
# Version 1: Center using "TC"
x0, y0, justify = 0, -4.5, "TC"
# Version 2: Accurate centering
x0, y0, justify = -4 - fontsize * plsb, -4.5, "TL"

fig = pygmt.Figure()
fig.basemap(region=[-4, 4, -7, 4], projection="x1c", frame="ag1")
fig.pygmtlogo(width="8c", position=Position((0, 0), cstype="mapcoords", anchor="MC"))
fig.text(x=x0, y=y0, justify=justify, text="PyGMT", font=f"{fontsize}c,AvantGarde-Book", no_clip=True)
fig.hlines(y=-4.5, pen="1p,gray,-")
fig.show()
fig.savefig("logo-wordmark.png")

Version 1	Version 2

Additional notes for Version 2:

• The top of the letter G aligns at y=-4.5, rather than the tops of the letters PMT

• Alternatively, it would also be possible to:

  • align the tops of the letters PMT at y=-4.5, or
  • vertically center the letters PMT at y=-5.5

We may also want to ensure it also works well with hexagon shape, but it's always easier to decide an initial version for circular logo first, then revise it later when working on hexagon logos.
