    Parameters
    ----------
    imagefile : str
        This must be an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file or a raster
        image. An EPS file must contain an appropriate BoundingBox. A
        raster file can have a depth of 1, 8, 24, or 32 bits and is read
        via GDAL. Note: If GDAL was not configured during GMT installation
        then only EPS files are supported.
