``convention`` parameter is required so we know how to interpret the
columns. If ``spec`` is a dictionary or a pd.DataFrame,
``convention`` is not needed and is ignored if specified.

scale : int or float or str
Adjust the scaling of the radius of the beachball, which is
proportional to the magnitude. *scale* defines the size for
magnitude = 5 (i.e. scalar seismic moment M0 = 4.0E23 dynes-cm).

Adjust scaling of the radius of the beachball, which is
proportional to the magnitude. By default, *scale* defines the
size for magnitude = 5 (i.e., scalar seismic moment
M0 = 4.0E23 dynes-cm). If **+l** is used the radius will be
proportional to the seismic moment instead. Use **+s** and give
a *reference* to change the reference magnitude (or moment), and
use **+m** to plot all beachballs with the same size. A text
string can be specified to appear near the beachball
(corresponding to column or parameter ``event_name``).
Append **+a**\ *angle* to change the angle of the text string;
append **+f**\ *font* to change its font (size,fontname,color);
append **+j**\ *justify* to change the text location relative
to the beachball [Default is ``"TC"``, i.e., Top Center];
append **+o** to offset the text string by *dx*\ /*dy*.
convention : str
