gmtset

       gmtset - To change individual GMT default parameters

SYNOPSIS

       gmtset PARAMETER1 [=] value1 PARAMETER2 [=] value2 PARAME­
       TER3 [=] value3 ...

DESCRIPTION

       gmtset will adjust individual GMT defaults settings in the
       current  directory's  .gmtdefaults'  file. If no such file
       exists one will be created. The main purpose of gmtset  is
       to   temporarily   change   certain  parameters  inside  a
       shellscript, e.g., set the dots-per-inch to 600,  run  the
       script, and reset to 300 dpi.

       PARAMETER value
              Provide  one  or  several  pairs of parameter/value
              combinations that you want to modify.  For  a  com­
              plete  listing  of  available  parameters and their
              meaning, see the gmtdefaults man page.

EXAMPLES

       To change the dpi to 600, set anotation font to Helvetica,
       and  select  grid-crosses of size 0.1 inch, and set anota­
       tion offset to 0.2 cm, try

               gmtset  DOTS_PR_INCH   600   ANOT_FONT   Helvetica
       GRID_CROSS_SIZE 0.1i ANOT_OFFSET 0.2c
