Description of proposed changes

This PR splits the pygmt.Figure methods into more sections in the API documentation.

Fixes #1633

Reminders

  • Run make format and make check to make sure the code follows the style guide.
  • Add tests for new features or tests that would have caught the bug that you're fixing.
  • Add new public functions/methods/classes to doc/api/index.rst.
  • Write detailed docstrings for all functions/methods.
  • If wrapping a new module, open a 'Wrap new GMT module' issue and submit reasonably-sized PRs.
  • If adding new functionality, add an example to docstrings or tutorials.

Slash Commands

You can write slash commands (/command) in the first line of a comment to perform
specific operations. Supported slash commands are:

  • /format: automatically format and lint the code
  • /test-gmt-dev: run full tests on the latest GMT development version

I feel the current structure is very confusing. Users may think it's Figure.makecpt, not pygmt.makecpt.

Yes, I agree. I tried to add more clarity in the latest commit by reordering the sections so all Figure methods are first and adding a note to the functions not provided through the Figure class. I also added subsection headers so that the toctree has a bit more structure. Let me know whether you think this is more clear.

Great work @meghanrjones. The structure is now much more clear and it's easier to find functions related to a specific topic.
