💖 Thanks for opening this pull request! 💖

Please make sure you read our contributing guidelines and abide by our code of conduct.

A few things to keep in mind:

• If you need help writing tests, take a look at the existing ones for inspiration. If you don't know where to start, let us know and we'll walk you through it.
• All new features should be documented. It helps to write the docstrings for your functions/classes before writing the code. This will help you think about your code design and results in better code.
• No matter what, we are really grateful that you put in the effort to do this! 🎉

Hi @btozer! Thanks for submitting this quick documentation fix. Sorry for all the red warnings about tests failing, it really shouldn't have been doing that. I've restarted the Linux Travis-CI build which passed, but we'll need to wait for one of the other core devs to restart the Mac Azure one.

If you have more time, you could make the example a bit clearer. For example, I found this line in an old pull request at #279 which used

export GMT_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/anaconda3/envs/pygmt/lib

Also just a side note that it would be great to give Windows users proper instructions as well, i.e. set the path to the gmt_w64.dll file, c.f. #285.

Hi again @btozer, I've suggested a few changes that should make it easier for Windows 🏁 users. Feel free to make any other changes as you see fit, but once you're done, click on the 'Update branch' button to bring your patch up to date with the master branch, and this should be ready to merge!

Yep, looks good!

@seisman could you merge this in? It's saying I'm not authorized to merge into the master branch.

@btozer Thanks for your contributions!

@weiji14 Not sure why you can't merge it, since you're now already the team member. Possibly because the PR was opened before you joined the team?

Ah that's interesting, but I guess it kinda makes sense. Anyways, good work @btozer!
