Implementation looks good, agree that we should allow the region argument for low-resolution grids too, even if it might cause issues when users apply operations (e.g. slicing) on top of those grids. Cheers too for updating the docs!
As an aside, I've made a note at #524 (comment) about how upstream xarray is trending on keep_attrs by default.

Description of proposed changes
In #542, we extended the
load_earth_relief()function to support all resolutions, and also allowregionargument for high-resolution grids (>=05m). We had some discussions (#542 (comment)) and decided not to allowregionfor low-resolution grids (<=06m), due to a known issue of xr.DataArray slice operation (#524 (comment)).However, I feel that it's a wrong decision to disallow
regionfor low-resolution grids, because xr.DataArray slice operation (#524 (comment)) is not commonly used, especially for the GMT's earth relief data, and we havegrdcutto do slice operation.In this PR, we allow
load_earth_relief()function to accept theregionargument for all grid resolutions.Fixes #870.
