+Timestamp
+---------
+The :meth:`pygmt.Figure.timestamp` method can draw the
+GMT timestamp logo on the figure. The timestamp
+will always be shown relative to the bottom-left corner
+of the figure. By default, the ``offset`` and
+``justification`` parameters are set to
+``("-54p", "-54p")`` (x, y directions) and ``"BL"``
+(bottom-left), respectively.
