+    Create mask grid from polygons or point coverage.
+
+    Reads one or more files containing polygon or data point coordinates, and creates a
+    grid where nodes that fall inside, on the edge, or outside the polygons (or within
+    the search radius from data points) are assigned values based on ``outside``,
+    ``edge``, and ``inside`` parameters.
+
+    The mask grid can be used to mask out specific regions in other grids using
+    :func:`pygmt.grdmath` or similar tools. For masking based on coastline features,
+    consider using :func:`pygmt.grdlandmask` instead.

+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    data
+        Pass in either a file name to an ASCII data table, a 2-D $table_classes
+        containg the polygon(s) or data points. Input can be:
+
+        - **Polygon mode**: One or more files containing closed polygon coordinates
+        - **Point coverage mode**: Data points (used with ``search_radius`` parameter)
+    $outgrid
+    $spacing
+    outside
+    edge
+    inside
+        Set the value assigned to nodes outside, on the edge, or inside the polygons.
+        Can be any number, or one of ``None``, ``"NaN"``, and ``np.nan`` for NaN.
+
+        ``inside`` can also be set to one of the following values:
+
+        - ``"z"``: Use the z-value from polygon data (segment header ``-Zzval``,
+          ``-Lheader``, or via ``-aZ=name``).
+        - ``"id"``: Use a running polygon ID number.
+
+        To treat edges as inside, use the same value as ``inside``.
+    $region
+    $verbose
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    ret
+        Return type depends on whether the ``outgrid`` parameter is set:
+
+        - :class:`xarray.DataArray` if ``outgrid`` is not set
+        - ``None`` if ``outgrid`` is set (grid output will be stored in the file set by
+          ``outgrid``)
