    r"""
    Create 3-D perspective image or surface mesh from a grid.

    Reads a 2-D grid file and produces a 3-D perspective plot by drawing a
    mesh, painting a colored/gray-shaded surface made up of polygons, or by
    scanline conversion of these polygons to a raster image. Options
    include draping a data set on top of a surface, plotting of contours on
    top of the surface, and apply artificial illumination based on
    intensities provided in a separate grid file.

    Full option list at :gmt-docs:`grdview.html`

    Parameters
    ----------
    {grid}
    region : str or list
        *xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax*\ [**+r**][**+u**\ *unit*].
        Specify the :doc:`region </tutorials/basics/regions>` of interest.
        When used with ``perspective``, optionally append */zmin/zmax* to
        indicate the range to use for the 3-D axes [Default is the region in
        the input grid].
    {projection}
    zscale/zsize : float or str
        Set z-axis scaling or z-axis size.
    {frame}
    cmap : str
        The name of the color palette table to use.
    drapegrid : str or xarray.DataArray
        The file name or a DataArray of the image grid to be draped on top
        of the relief provided by grid. [Default determines colors from
        grid]. Note that ``zscale`` and ``plane`` always refers to the grid.
        The drapegrid only provides the information pertaining to colors, which
        (if drapegrid is a grid) will be looked-up via the CPT (see ``cmap``).
    plane : float or str
        *level*\ [**+g**\ *fill*].
        Draw a plane at this z-level. If the optional color is provided
        via the **+g** modifier, and the projection is not oblique, the frontal
        facade between the plane and the data perimeter is colored.
    surftype : str
        Specify cover type of the grid.
        Select one of following settings:

        - **m** - mesh plot [Default].
        - **mx** or **my** - waterfall plots (row or column profiles).
        - **s** - surface plot, and optionally append **m** to have mesh lines
          drawn on top of the surface.
        - **i** - image plot.
        - **c** - Same as **i** but will make nodes with z = NaN transparent.

        For any of these choices, you may force a monochrome image by
        appending the modifier **+m**.
    contourpen : str
        Draw contour lines on top of surface or mesh (not image). Append
        pen attributes used for the contours.
    meshpen : str
        Set the pen attributes used for the mesh. You must also select
        ``surftype`` of **m** or **sm** for meshlines to be drawn.
    facadepen :str
        Set the pen attributes used for the facade. You must also select
        ``plane`` for the facade outline to be drawn.
    shading : str
        Provide the name of a grid file with intensities in the (-1,+1)
        range, or a constant intensity to apply everywhere (affects the
        ambient light). Alternatively, derive an intensity grid from the
        input data grid reliefgrid via a call to :func:`pygmt.grdgradient`;
        append **+a**\ *azimuth*, **+n**\ *args*, and **+m**\ *ambient* to
        specify azimuth, intensity, and ambient arguments for that function,
        or just give **+d** to select the default arguments
        [Default is **+a**\ -45\ **+nt**\ 1\ **+m**\ 0].
    {verbose}
    {panel}
    {coltypes}
    {interpolation}
    {perspective}
    {transparency}

    Example
    -------
    >>> import pygmt
    >>> # load the 30 arc-minutes grid with "gridline" registration
    >>> # in a specified region
    >>> grid = pygmt.datasets.load_earth_relief(
    ...     resolution="30m",
    ...     region=[-92.5, -82.5, -3, 7],
    ...     registration="gridline",
    ... )
    >>> # create a new figure instance with pygmt.Figure()
    >>> fig = pygmt.Figure()
    >>> # create the contour plot
    >>> fig.grdview(
    ...     # pass in the grid downloaded above
    ...     grid=grid,
    ...     # set the perspective to an azimuth of 130° and an elevation of 30°
    ...     perspective=[130, 30],
    ...     # add a frame to the x- and y-axes
    ...     # specify annotations on the south and east borders of the plot
    ...     frame=["xa", "ya", "wSnE"],
    ...     # set the projection of the 2-D map to Mercator with a 10 cm width
    ...     projection="M10c",
    ...     # set the vertical scale (z-axis) to 2 cm
    ...     zsize="2c",
    ...     # set "surface plot" to color the surface via a CPT
    ...     surftype="s",
    ...     # specify CPT to "geo"
    ...     cmap="geo",
    ... )
    >>> # show the plot
    >>> fig.show()
