In Windows 10 PyGMT version 0.18, the annotation %s appears. #4441
Description
Description of the problem
The same code works fine on an external Windows 11 machine, but causes %s errors on an internal Windows 10 machine.
Drawing with the native GMT tool on Windows 10 works fine. I'm pretty sure the problem lies with PyGMT, but I don't know what the problem is.
Minimal Complete Verifiable Example
import pygmt
print(pygmt.show_versions())
import locale
print(locale.getlocale())
fig =pygmt.Figure()
region=[105,112,31,48]
fig.grdimage(grid="@earth_relief_04m_p",cmap='geo',shading=True,region=region)
fig.coast(borders='1/0.8p,black',shorelines='0.5p,black',frame=['xa1g1','ya1g1','WSNE'])
fig.savefig('biaozhu.png',dpi=300)Full error message
No error message was reported, but there was definitely a problem with the display.System information
