Description of proposed changes
matplotlib-baseis same asmatplotlibexcept that it doesn't depend on pyqt. Somatplotlib-baseis much lighter.xref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61326297, https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/knowledge_base/#matplotlib
After changing
matplotlibtomatplotlib-base, the directory size of thepygmtenvironment reduces from 3.3 GB to 2.5 GB for me (on Linux).Need to note that
matplotlib-baseis available on conda-forge only, sopip install matplotlib-basedoesn't work (see https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/actions/runs/8532766425/job/23374423152?pr=3158).
