class Session:
"""
A GMT API session where most operations involving the C API happen.
Works as a context manager (for use in a ``with`` block) to create a GMT C
API session and destroy it in the end to clean up memory.
Functions of the shared library are exposed as methods of this class. Most
methods MUST be used with an open session (inside a ``with`` block). If
creating GMT data structures to communicate data, put that code inside the
same ``with`` block as the API calls that will use the data.
By default, will let :mod:`ctypes` try to find the GMT shared library
(``libgmt``). If the environment variable ``GMT_LIBRARY_PATH`` is set, will
look for the shared library in the directory specified by it.
A ``GMTVersionError`` exception will be raised if the GMT shared library
reports a version older than the required minimum GMT version.
The ``session_pointer`` attribute holds a ctypes pointer to the currently
open session.
Raises
------
GMTCLibNotFoundError
If there was any problem loading the library (couldn't find it or
couldn't access the functions).
GMTCLibNoSessionError
If you try to call a method outside of a 'with' block.
GMTVersionError
If the minimum required version of GMT is not found.

>>> grid = load_earth_relief()
>>> type(grid)

Parameters
----------
family : str
A valid GMT data family name (e.g., ``'GMT_IS_DATASET'``). See the

geometry : str
A valid GMT data geometry name (e.g., ``'GMT_IS_POINT'``). See the

mode : str
How the data is to be written to the file. This option varies
depending on the given family. See the GMT API documentation for
details.
wesn : list or numpy array
[xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax] of the data. Must have 6

def open_virtual_file(self, family, geometry, direction, data):
"""
Open a GMT Virtual File to pass data to and from a module.
GMT uses a virtual file scheme to pass in data to API modules. Use it
to pass in your GMT data structure (created using
:meth:`pygmt.clib.Session.create_data`) to a module that expects an
input or output file.
Use in a ``with`` block. Will automatically close the virtual file when
leaving the ``with`` block. Because of this, no wrapper for
``GMT_Close_VirtualFile`` is provided.
Parameters
----------
family : str
A valid GMT data family name (e.g., ``'GMT_IS_DATASET'``). Should
be the same as the one you used to create your data structure.
geometry : str
A valid GMT data geometry name (e.g., ``'GMT_IS_POINT'``). Should
be the same as the one you used to create your data structure.
direction : str
Either ``'GMT_IN'`` or ``'GMT_OUT'`` to indicate if passing data to
GMT or getting it out of GMT, respectively.
By default, GMT can modify the data you pass in. Add modifier
``'GMT_IS_REFERENCE'`` to tell GMT the data are read-only, or
``'GMT_IS_DUPLICATE'`` to tell GMT to duplicate the data.
data : int
The ctypes void pointer to your GMT data structure.
Yields
------
