Need to add `@earth_gebco_01d` to the cache too at `pygmt/helpers/testing.py` right?

Thanks Meghan for getting the `grdhisteq` function done. I'll refactor the `triangulate` implementation in #731 to use a similar "Two methods in a single Python class" style to be consistent.

@dr-glenn, do you want to try this branch using `pip install https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/archive/stringio_input.zip` and see if it works for your StringIO legend? Documentation (beta) is at https://pygmt-git-stringioinput.gmt.vercel.app/api/generated/pygmt.Figure.legend.html#pygmt.Figure.legend. Happy to receive any...

See examples at - https://github.com/ocefpaf/netcdf4-win-wheels, wheels at https://github.com/ocefpaf/netcdf4-win-wheels/releases/tag/v1.6.1...

Cool, thanks for the pointers! I haven't got a Windows machine to try this out, but can probably figure my way around the shell script parts (once I find some...
