User reported at https://forum.generic-mapping-tools.org/t/not-able-to-draw-closed-polygons-using-pygmt/3663 that the geopandas.GeoDataFrame plot example in https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/egu22pygmt/ecosystem.html isn't working.

fig.plot(data=world, pen="1p,black", close=True, color="+z", cmap=True, aspatial="Z=pop_est")

produces this error

plot [ERROR]: OGR parsing incomplete (is file missing OGR statements?) - abort

and a blank map

The change happened after #23 on Nov 2022 (see diff on gh-pages branch at 6b59921), and my guess is that this is related to the naturalearth_lowres update in geopandas/geopandas#2418 in Jun 2022 which updated the GeoDataFrame to have a mix of Polygon/MultiPolygon types, which isn't supported yet in PyGMT/GMT (see GenericMappingTools/pygmt#2405).

TODO: Update the notebook with some workaround so that the map is showing in the JupyterBook. E.g. following https://forum.generic-mapping-tools.org/t/not-able-to-draw-closed-polygons-using-pygmt/3663/3, or some other non-explode way.

hello,
im trying to open this in binder but it is showing the following error

what should i do? i am completely new to this platform both gmt and binder.

thank you in advance

Continuing on from GenericMappingTools/website#131 (comment), we're going to have a 10 min intro + 4x20min sessions (total 90 min) for the PyGMT short course on 24 May 2022. This issue is for discussing what sort of material we'd like to teach, and sort out who is doing what (i.e. logistics).

👉 Draft outline: https://hackmd.io/@pygmt/egu22pygmt_outline

Important dates:

• 31 Mar 2022 - Early bird registration deadline
• 14 Apr 2022 - On-site attendance registration deadline
• 18 May 2022 - Short course pre-recording upload deadline
• 24 May 2022 - PyGMT short course

Note that the short course content can be pre-recorded ahead of time. I'm suggesting that we set an individual deadline on Friday 6 May 2022 Tuesday 10 May 2022 to have the presentation material (in mp4 format) ready for upload (though let me know if this doesn't work). This should give us time to review each other's work, make corrections, and merge the presentation together into the final 1.5 hour presentation (max 2-3GB) by the hard deadline on Wednesday 18 May 2022. Note that the EGU upload 'portal' is open from 9–18 May 2022 according to https://egu22.eu/guidelines/short-course_guidelines.html.

Also, @meghanrjones suggested at GenericMappingTools/website#131 (comment) that we can have a think about having some sort of interactive component (e.g. gather.town with the participants).

@leouieda, @meghanrjones, @andrebelem. I've set up a poll at https://www.when2meet.com/?15145108-mijPx so that we can have a 1 hour Zoom meeting to discuss this in more detail. (Edit: cancelling the meeting since hard to get everyone together, see #1 (comment)) But feel free to jot down any ideas you have below!

Both @meghanrjones and @andrebelem suggested at GenericMappingTools/website#131 (comment) and #1 (comment) that we have some sort of virtual networking event for the EGU22 conference for PyGMT.

Officially, we probably should use https://webforms.copernicus.org/EGU22/pop-up-networking to organize this, but we can use just about any platform. So, do we want this to be on:

• Zoom
• Gather.town
• Discord
• Google Meet

For the date, let's vote using https://www.when2meet.com/?15752037-Itjqh. Yes I realize this is a bit last minute 😅

Thread to coordinate upload of tutorial videos to https://www.youtube.com/c/TheGenericMappingTools, continuing from #1 (comment).

For convenience, here's a link to all the videos:

• Introduction #10 (comment)
• Anatomy of a PyGMT figure #7 (comment)
• Integration with the scientific Python ecosystem #8 (comment)
• Making some Mars maps with pygmt #1 (comment)
• LiDAR point cloud to 3D surfaces #5 (comment)

@meghanrjones, let me know if you're ok to handle this? Or I can upload them (since I already have them all on my computer) if you give me permission to the Youtube channel.
