Cool - will look at the plots in detail later on.

But just want to mention that there is an issue suggesting to implemente a high-level methods for plotting a directional rose etc. at #2831 (similar to plot / plot3d at #2797). Not sure if there is any progress at the moment, but would be good to check to avoid double work 🙃. As the script contains various plots, it looks like you put already some work into this PR.

It's still waiting for the new alias system.

Instead of plotting eight roses in eight subplots, maybe it's better to plot eight roses in a single basemap?

@michaelgrund @yvonnefroehlich I've opened PR #4025 which adds the Figure.directional_rose method. With that feature added, this gallery example can be greatly simplified. So better to focus on that PR first?

Great, will wait until #4025 is merged!

@michaelgrund The Figure.directional_rose method in PR #4025 has been merged. You may want to revisit this example if you're still interested.

Suggested change

	apperance.
	appearance.

Suggested change

	directional roses on maps. Using ``pygmt.Figure.directional_rose()``
	directional roses on maps. Using the method

[seisman]

I wonder if we can use plotcoords in the example, so the command can fit on one line, making it much shorter:

fig.directional_rose(width=width, labels=True, position=(1, 1), fancy=True)

I feel it would be better if we could find all GMT parameters (e.g., FONT_TITLE) that control the appearance of map roses and provide dedicated parameters for them. For example, it's sometimes confusing that the label font is controlled by FONT_TITLE rather than FONT_LABEL. It would be more user-friendly if we can provide a parameter like font_label (or labe_font).

Anyway, we can finish this gallery example first, then implement these parameters and update the gallery example in separate PRs.
