Add load_* functions to support more remote relief datasets #2431
Comments
Would like to work on this if the GMT-side implementation is done! |
Not just the Moon. Also Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto. |
Thanks, I've updated the PR title. |
As shown in GenericMappingTools/gmtserver-admin#219, the building of the planetary relief datasets is almost finished. These new datasets are still not available on the GMT main server but are available on the candidate server (http://candidate.generic-mapping-tools.org/server/). I think @PaulWessel decided to release these new datasets at the same time as the GMT 6.5 release, which may happen shortly (maybe in a few weeks). It would be great if we could add
We can also decide if these new functions are worth a new PyGMT release, i.e., releasing GMT 6.5, the new datasets, and PyGMT v0.11.0 at the same day, although PyGMT v 0.10.0 was released only a few days ago. |
Most likely, because in order to access the highest resolution of the some planets a new GMT version is needed (see GenericMappingTools/gmtserver-admin#171 (comment)). Maybe will you have the same issue? |
Didn't realize the issue yet. Will read and see what happens. |
Probably just need a patch release (v0.10.1) to support GMT 6.5? Depends on how backward incompatible things are. It sounds like most other functions should still be ok, just the remote datasets are affected. |
See GenericMappingTools/gmtserver-admin#171 for more discussions if you're interested. As far as I can see, there are no backward incompatibilities between 6.4 and 6.5. GMT 6.4 can access all these new remote datasets except a few full-resolution grids (e.g., pluto grid with a 52.0732883317s increment), while GMT 6.5 can.
The point is to provide more load functions (e.g., |
When is the planned release date for GMT 6.5? October? November? |
Ping @PaulWessel |
We are close but I have many non-GMT days next 2 weeks so maybe Oct 15 |
Description of the desired feature
The GMT side is working on the lunar relief dataset for remote use and it's close to being finished (GenericMappingTools/gmtserver-admin#167). Similar to other
load_earth_*
functions (xref #1786), we need to add aload_moon_relief
function to download and load the data.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
