💖 Thanks for opening this pull request! 💖

Please make sure you read our contributing guidelines and abide by our code of conduct.

A few things to keep in mind:

• If you need help writing tests, take a look at the existing ones for inspiration. If you don't know where to start, let us know and we'll walk you through it.
• All new features should be documented. It helps to write the docstrings for your functions/classes before writing the code. This will help you think about your code design and results in better code.
• No matter what, we are really grateful that you put in the effort to do this! 🎉

Thanks for opening this PR @jackbeagley. Besides adding an alias for -F could you please also provide the corresponding documentation part in the docstring? You can orientate yourself on the already existing ones for basemap.

@jackbeagley FYI, the same box parameter has been aliased in the colorbar function, so you can simply copy (perhaps needs slight modifications) the box docstring from colorbar to basemap:

@seisman , awesome, I have just copied the description from colorbar verbatim, as it seemed very well written and as you say - it is the same scale, so I don't think there is anything additional that needs to be added?

Does a test need to be written for this too?

I don't think a test is needed for such an alias.

I think we have to consider the different types of map objects that can be manipulated such as map inset, map scale, or map rose.

Hey @michaelgrund, is that what you had in mind?
