NAME

6       gmtset - To change individual GMT default parameters
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gmtset  [  -Gdefaultsfile ] PARAMETER1 [=] value1 PARAMETER2 [=] value2
10       PARAMETER3 [=] value3 ...
11

DESCRIPTION

13       gmtset will adjust individual GMT  defaults  settings  in  the  current
14       directory's  .gmtdefaults4  file.   If  no such file exists one will be
15       created.  The main purpose of gmtset is temporarily to  change  certain
16       parameters  inside  a shell script, e.g., set the dots-per-inch to 600,
17       run the script, and reset to 300 dpi.  Optionally, you can specify  one
18       or  more  temporary  changes  directly on any GMT command line with the
19       syntax --PARAMETER=VALUE; such changes are only in effect for that com‐
20       mand and do not permanently change the default settings on disk.
21
22       PARAMETER value
23              Provide  one  or  several  pairs of parameter/value combinations
24              that you want to modify.  For a complete  listing  of  available
25              parameters and their meaning, see the gmtdefaults man page.
26

OPTIONS

28       -G     Name  of  specific  .gmtdefaults4  file to modify [Default looks
29              first in current directory, then in your home directory, then in
30              ~/.gmt and finally in the system defaults].
31

EXAMPLES

33       To  change the dpi to 600, set annotation font to Helvetica, and select
34       grid-crosses of size 0.1 inch, and set annotation offset to 0.2 cm:
35
36       gmtset     DOTS_PR_INCH      600      ANNOT_FONT_PRIMARY      Helvetica
