6 cptclip - extract a sub-table from a GMT colour palette table (cpt).
7
9 cptclip -R min/max [-h] [-o file] [-s] [-v] [-V] [file]
10
12 The cptclip utility extracts a sub-table from a cpt format file. The
13 arguments to the mandatory -R option, min/max, are interpreted as the
14 (z) limits of the output unless the -s switch is specified, in which
15 case they are the segment numbers.
16
17 The program will read from stdin if a file is not specified as the
18 final argument, and write to stdout if the -o option is not specified.
19
20 Note that much of the functionality of this program is included in
21 recent versions of the GMT program makecpt(1).
22
24 --backtrace-file path
25 Specify a file to which to write a formatted backtrace. The file
