[pygmt.surface] tension_factor

[jhtong33]

Description of the desired feature

Hello,
I want to request the feature about surface-tension_factor (-T)
Due to this problem, we need to transfer pygmt to GMT6.2.0 now.
Hoping the feature in GMT can implement in pygmt in the future.

Thanks!

Are you willing to help implement and maintain this feature?

Maybe

Hi @JingHuiTong. This isn't documented, but you can try using

grid = pygmt.surface(...,  T=0.35)

See example at https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/egu22pygmt/lidar_to_surface.html#turn-points-into-a-grid.

If you do want to implement this feature, please add T="tension" alias to the pygmt/src/surface.py file at

pygmt/pygmt/src/surface.py

Lines 19 to 33 in 8854774

	@use_alias(
	I="spacing",
	R="region",
	G="outgrid",
	V="verbose",
