Description
**Description of the problem**
The following script plots three basemaps with different sizes (10c, 5c and 1c).
```
gmt begin map
gmt basemap -R0/10/0/10 -JX10c -B0
gmt colorbar -Crainbow -Baf
gmt basemap -R0/10/0/10 -JX5c -B0 -X10c
gmt colorbar -Crainbow -Baf
gmt basemap -R0/10/0/10 -JX1c -B0 -X5c
gmt colorbar -Crainbow -Baf
gmt end show
```
Here is the output image. As you can see, the frame pen thickness is almost identical (with very small thickness changes). The default pen thickness looks good for a 15-cm-wide basemap, but is too thick for a 5-cm-wide or 1-cm-wide basemap.
