DESCRIPTION

pscoupe reads data values from files [or standard input] and generates PostScript code that will plot symbols, lines or polygons on a cross-section. Focal mechanisms may be specified and require additional columns of data. The PostScript code is written to standard output.

files list one or more file-names. If no files are given, pscoupe will read standard input.

A new file is created with the new coordinates (x, y) and the mechanism (from lower focal half-sphere for horizontal plane, to half-sphere behind a vertical plane). When the plane is not horizontal, - north direction becomes upwards steepest descent direction of the plane (u) - east direction becomes strike direction of the plane (s) - down direction (= north^east) becomes u^s
Axis angles are defined in the same way as in horizontal plane in the new system.
Moment tensor (initially in r, t, f system that is up, south, east) is defined in (-u^s, -u, s) system. A file is created with extracted events.

-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 MEASURE_UNIT setting in .gmtdefaults4, but this can be overridden on the command line by appending c, i, or m to the scale/width value. When central meridian is optional, default is center of longitude range on -R option. Default standard parallel is the equator. For map height, max dimension, or min dimension, append h, +, or - to the width, respectively.
More details can be found in the psbasemap man pages.

west, east, south, and north specify the Region of interest, and you may specify them in decimal degrees or in [+-]dd:mm[:ss.xxx][W|E|S|N] format. Append r if lower left and upper right map coordinates are given instead of w/e/s/n.

Alternatively, specify the name of an existing grid file and the -R settings (and grid spacing, if applicable) are copied from the grid. If frame is defined from cross-section parameters (see -A) this option is not taken into account, but must be present.

-A selects the cross-section.

lon and lat are the longitude and latitude of points 1 and 2 limiting the length of the cross-section.

OPTIONS

No space between the option flag and the associated arguments.

-B

Sets map boundary annotation and tickmark intervals; see the psbasemap man page for all the details.

-Efill

Selects filling of extensive quadrants. Usually white. Set the shade (0-255) or color (r/g/b) [Default is 255/255/255].

-Gfill

Selects filling of focal mechanisms. By convention, the compressional quadrants are shaded. Set the shade (0-255) or color (r/g/b) [Default is 0/0/0]. Optionally, specify -Gpicon_size/pattern, where pattern gives the number of the image pattern (1-90) OR the name of a Sun rasterfile. icon_size sets the unit size in inches. To invert black and white pixels, use -GP instead of -Gp. See Appendix E for information on individual patterns.

-H

Input file(s) has header record(s). If used, the default number of header records is N_HEADER_RECS. Use -Hi if only input data should have header records [Default will write out header records if the input data have them]. Blank lines and lines starting with # are always skipped.

-K

More PostScript code will be appended later [Default terminates the plot system].

-L[pen]

Draws the "beach ball" outline using current pen (see -W) or sets pen attributes.

-M

Same size for any magnitude.

-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 [Default is Landscape, see gmtdefaults to change this].

-T[num_of_planes]

Plots the nodal planes and outlines the bubble which is transparent. If num_of_planes is

      0: both nodal planes are plotted;
      1: only the first nodal plane is plotted;
      2: only the second nodal plane is plotted  [Default: 0].

-U

Draw Unix System time stamp on plot. By adding just/dx/dy/, the user may specify the justification of the stamp and where the stamp should fall on the page relative to lower left corner of the plot. For example, BL/0/0 will align the lower left corner of the time stamp with the lower left corner of the plot. Optionally, append a label, or c (which will plot the command string.). The GMT parameters UNIX_TIME, UNIX_TIME_POS, and UNIX_TIME_FORMAT can affect the appearance; see the gmtdefaults man page for details. The time string will be in the locale set by the environment variable TZ (generally local time).

-V

Selects verbose mode, which will send progress reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].

-W

set pen attributes for text string or default pen attributes for fault plane edges. [Defaults: width = 1, color = 0/0/0, texture = solid].

-X -Y

Shift plot origin relative to the current origin by (x-shift,y-shift) and optionally append the length unit (c, i, m, p). You can prepend a to shift the origin back to the original position after plotting, or prepend r [Default] to reset the current origin to the new location. If -O is used then the default (x-shift,y-shift) is (0,0), otherwise it is (r1i, r1i) or (r2.5c, r2.5c). Alternatively, give c to align the center coordinate (x or y) of the plot with the center of the page based on current page size.

-Zcptfile

Give a color palette file and let compressive part color be determined by the z-value in the third column.

-a[size/[P_axis_symbol/[T_axis_symbol]]]

Computes and plots P and T axes with symbols. Optionally specify size and (separate) P and T axis symbols from the following: (c) circle, (d) diamond, (h) hexagon, (i) inverse triangle, (p)point, (s) square, (t) triangle, (x) cross. [Defaults: 0.2c/c/c or 0.08i/c/c.]

-efill

Selects filling of T axis symbol. Set the shade (0-255) or color (r/g/b) [Default is color of extensive parts.]

-gfill

Selects filling of P axis symbol. Set the shade (0-255) or color (r/g/b) [Default is color of compressive parts.]

-p[pen]

Draws the P axis outline using current pen (see -W), or sets pen attributes.

-t[pen]

Draws the T axis outline using current pen (see -W), or sets pen attributes.

-:

Toggles between (longitude,latitude) and (latitude,longitude) input and/or output. [Default is (longitude,latitude)]. Append i to select input only or o to select output only. [Default affects both].

-c

Specifies the number of plot copies. [Default is 1].
