DESCRIPTION
pspolar reads data values from files [or standard input]
and generates PostScript code that will plot stations on
focal mechanisms on a map. The PostScript code is written
to standard output.
ARGUMENTS
files List one or more file-names. If no files are given,
pspolar will read standard input.
-J Selects the map projection. Scale is UNIT/degree,
1:xxxxx, or width in UNIT (upper case modifier).
UNIT is cm, inch, or m, depending on the MEA
SURE_UNIT setting in .gmtdefaults, but this can be
overridden on the command line by appending the c,
i, or m to the scale/width value.
CYLINDRICAL PROJECTIONS:
-Jclon0/lat0/scale (Cassini)

-Jmscale (Mercator - Greenwich and Equator as ori
gin)

tor as y = 0)

origin)

-Jllon0/lat0/lat1/lat2/scale (Lambert)
MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTIONS:

-Jilon0/scale (Sinusoidal)
-Jk[f|s]lon0/scale (Eckert IV (f) and VI (s))
-Jnlon0/scale (Robinson)
-Jrlon0/scale (Winkel Tripel)
-Jvlon0/scale (Van der Grinten)
-Jwlon0/scale (Mollweide)
NON-GEOGRAPHICAL PROJECTIONS:
-Jp[a]scale[/origin] (polar (theta,r) coordinates,
optional a for azimuths and offset theta [0])
-Jxx-scale[l|ppow][/y-scale[l|ppow]] (Linear, log,
and power scaling)
More details can be found in the psbasemap man
pages.
-R west, east, south, and north specify the Region of
interest. To specify boundaries in degrees and min
utes [and seconds], use the dd:mm[:ss] format.
Append r if lower left and upper right map coordi
nates are given instead of wesn. -Dlongitude/lati
tude Maps the bubble at given longitude and lati
tude point.
-Msize Sets the size of the beach ball to plot
polarities in.
Size is in inch (unless c, i, m, or p is appended).
-S<symbol type>sizeSelects symbol type and symbol
size .
Size is in inch (unless c, i, m, or p is appended).
Choose symbol type between
st(a)r, (c)ircle, (d)iamond, (h)exagon,
(i)nvtriangle
(p)oint, (s)quare, (t)riangle, (x)cross
No space between the option flag and the associated argu
ments.
-B Sets map boundary tickmark intervals. See psbasemap
for details. -C Offsets focal mechanisms to the
latitude and longitude specified in the last two
columns of the input file.
-Efill Selects filling of symbols for stations in
extensive quadrants. Set the shade (0-255) or
color (r/g/b) [Default is 250/250/250]. If Efill
is the same as Ffill, use -e to outline.
-e[<pen attributes>] Outline symbols in extensive
quadrants.
Default pen attributes is W pen attributes.
-Ffill Sets background color of the beach ball.
Default is no fill.
-f[<pen attributes>] Outline the beach ball.
Default pen attributes is W pen attributes.
-Gfill Selects filling of symbols for stations in
compressional quadrants. Set the shade (0-255) or
color (r/g/b) [Default is 0/0/0].
-g[<pen attributes>] Outline symbols in compres
sional quadrants. Default pen attributes is W pen
attributes.
-H Input file(s) has Header record(s). Number of
header records can be changed by editing your .gmt
defaults file. If used, GMT default is 1 header
record. -h
Use special format derived from HYPO71 output
-K More PostScript code will be appended later
[Default terminates the plot system]. -N Does NOT
skip symbols that fall outside map border [Default
plots points inside border only].
-O Selects Overlay plot mode [Default initializes a
new plot system].
-P Selects Portrait plotting mode [GMT Default is
Landscape, see gmtdefaults to change this].
-shalf-
size/[V[<v_width/h_length/h_width/shape>]][G<r/g/b>][L]
Plots S polarity azimuth.
S polarity is in last column. It may be a vector
(V option) or a segment. Give half-
-Tangle/form/justify/fontsize in points
To write station code. Default is 0.0/0/5/12.
-t<pen attributes>
To write station code. Default attributes is W
attributes.
-U Draw Unix System time stamp on plot. User may spec
ify where the lower left corner of the stamp should
fall on the page relative to lower left corner of
plot. Optionally, append a label, or c (which will
plot the command string.)
-V Selects verbose mode, which will send progress
reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"]. -W
Set current pen attributes
[Defaults: width = 1, color = 0/0/0, texture =
solid].
-X -Y Shift origin of plot by (x-shift,y-shift). Prepend
a for absolute coordinates; the default (r) will
reset plot origin.
-: Toggles between (longitude,latitude) and (lati
tude,longitude) input/output. [Default is (longi
tude,latitude)]. Applies to geographic coordinates
only.
-c Specifies the number of plot copies. [Default is 1]
Parameters are expected to be in the following
columns
1,2,3,4
station_code, azimuth, take-off angle, polarity
polarity :
- compression can be c,C,u,U,+
- rarefaction can be d,D,r,R,-
- not defined is anything else
