Arguments with spaces in strings #247
Comments
This is something we'll have to work on. I really don't like the way that -B works right now. It's very non-intuitive and requires the user to specify it multiple times. There shouldn't be a single argument for setting labels, titles, gridlines, tickmarks, etc. See #249. I think that's a better solution than trying to guess what the user is doing with their ticks. |

Just had an idea from #1474 (comment), how about we find and replace space characters ( import pygmt
fig = pygmt.Figure()
# 1st way: SUCCEED! without needing double quotes
fig.basemap(region=[0, 2, 4, 8], projection="X2c", frame=r"WSne+tPlot\040Zero")
# 2nd way: SUCCEED as usual
fig.basemap(frame=r'WSne+t"Plot\040One"', xshift="3c")
# 3rd way: SUCCEED! But with single quotes
fig.basemap(frame=r"WSne+t'Plot\040Two'", xshift="3c")
fig.savefig("plots_with_spaces.png")
fig.show()
Caveat is that we will need to use raw-strings |

Description of the problem
Full code that generated the error
I tried to plot a basemap with an axis labelled as "Crust Age". I tried in three different ways:
Full error message
The 1st way is equivalent to command line
The command fails because "Age" is thought to be a file. However, the error message is almost useless to help users find the error. Do you think it's technically possible to automatically add quotes around strings with spaces if users forget to do that?
The 2nd way works as expected. However, I don't understand why the 3rd way fails? The equivalent cmd version works:
