Missing alias for option -F in basemap #1893
Description
Description of the problem
I am trying to add a filled background behind my mapscale, similar to the examples in the GMT documentation here: https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/dev/cookbook/features.html#placing-map-scales. From what I understand, when adding the map_scale, I should be able to simultaneously add a frame option specifying the fill parameters, like in my example code below, using the options from the GMT documentation. The code below runs when 'frame' isn't specified, but of course no background is generated behind the map_scale. I would be very appreciative if someone could point me in the right direction or let me know if this is in fact a bug. Thanks!
