Multiple legend columns #2603
Description
Description of the desired feature
PyGMT does not support displaying legends in multiple columns, which is usually used when the items to plot have a large number. For instance, the following script would show the legend in two columns.
import pygmt
fig = pygmt.Figure()
fig.basemap(projection="x2c", region=[0, 7, 3, 7], frame=True)
fig.plot(
data="@Table_5_11.txt",
style="c0.40c",
fill="lightgreen",
pen="faint",
label="Apples",
)
fig.plot(data="@Table_5_11.txt", pen="1.5p,gray", label="My lines")
fig.plot(data="@Table_5_11.txt", style="t0.40c", fill="orange", label="Oranges")
fig.legend(position="JTR+jTR+o0.2c", box=True, N=2)
fig.show()
