Vertical or horizontal bars

The pygmt.Figure.plot method can plot vertical (b) or horizontal (B) bars by passing the corresponding shortcut to the style parameter. By default, base = 0 meaning that the bar is starting from 0. Append +b[base] to change this value. To plot multi-band bars, please append +v|iny (for verticals bars) or +v|inx (for horizontal ones), where ny or nx indicate the total number of bands in the bar (and hence the number of values required to follow the x,y coordinate pair in the input). Here, +i means we must accumulate the bar values from the increments dy or dx, while +v means we get the complete values relative to base. Normally, the bands are plotted as sections of a final single bar. Use +s to instead split the bar into ny or nx side-by-side, individual and thinner bars. Multi-band bars require cmap=True with one color per band.
