psclip - Initialize or terminate polygonal clip paths

SYNOPSIS

psclip [ table ] parameters [n] west/east/south/north[/zmin/zmax][r] [ [m|p|x|y] ] [
[p|s]parameters ] z|Zparameters ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ [just/dx/dy/][c|label] ] [
[level] ] [ x_offset ] [ y_offset ] [ -bi<binary> ] [ -ccopies ] [ -di<nodata> ] [
-f<flags> ] [ -g<gaps> ] [ -h<headers> ] [ -i<flags> ] [ -p<flags> ] [ -t<transp> ] [
-:[i|o] ]

Note: No space is allowed between the option flag and the associated arguments.

DESCRIPTION

psclip reads (x,y) file(s) [or standard input] and draws polygons that are activated as
clipping paths. Several files may be read to create complex paths consisting of several
non-connecting segments. Only marks that are subsequently drawn inside the clipping path
will be shown. To determine what is inside or outside the clipping path, psclip uses the
even-odd rule. When a ray drawn from any point, regardless of direction, crosses the
clipping path segments an odd number of times, the point is inside the clipping path. If
the number is even, the point is outside. The -N option, reverses the sense of what is the
inside and outside of the paths by plotting a clipping path along the map boundary. After
subsequent plotting, which will be clipped against these paths, the clipping may be
deactivated by running psclip a second time with the -C option only.

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

-C[|n] Mark end of existing clip path(s). No input file will be processed. No projection
information is needed unless -B has been selected as well. With no arguments we
terminate all active clipping paths. Experts may restrict the termination to just
n of the active clipping path by passing that as the argument. Remember to supply
-X and -Y settings if you have moved since the clip started.

-Jparameters (more ...)
Select map projection.

-R[unit]xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax[r] (more ...)
Specify the region of interest.

For perspective view p, optionally append /zmin/zmax. (more ...)

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

table One or more ASCII (or binary, see -bi[ncols][type]) data table file(s) holding a
number of data columns. If no tables are given then we read from standard input.

-A[m|p|x|y]
By default, geographic line segments are connected as great circle arcs. To connect
them as straight lines, use the -A flag. Alternatively, add m to connect the line
by first following a meridian, then a parallel. Or append p to start following a
parallel, then a meridian. (This can be practical to connect lines along parallels,
for example). For Cartesian data, points are simply connected, unless you append x
or y to construct stair-case paths whose first move is along x or y, respectively.

-B[p|s]parameters (more ...)
Set map boundary intervals.

-Jz|Zparameters (more ...)
Set z-axis scaling; same syntax as -Jx.

-K (more ...)
Do not finalize the PostScript plot.

-N Invert the sense of what is inside and outside. For example, when using a single
path, this means that only points outside that path will be shown. Cannot be used
together with -B.

-O (more ...)
Append to existing PostScript plot.

-P (more ...)
Select "Portrait" plot orientation.

-T Rather than read any input files, simply turn on clipping for the current map
region. Basically, -T is a convenient way to run psclip with the arguments -N
/dev/null (or, under Windows, -N NUL). Cannot be used together with -B.

-U[just/dx/dy/][c|label] (more ...)
Draw GMT time stamp logo on plot.

-V[level] (more ...)
Select verbosity level [c].

-X[a|c|f|r][x-shift[u]]

-Y[a|c|f|r][y-shift[u]] (more ...)
Shift plot origin.

-bi[ncols][t] (more ...)
Select native binary input. [Default is 2 input columns].

-ccopies (more ...)
Specify number of plot copies [Default is 1].

-dinodata (more ...)
Replace input columns that equal nodata with NaN.

-f[i|o]colinfo (more ...)
Specify data types of input and/or output columns.

-g[a]x|y|d|X|Y|D|[col]z[+|-]gap[u] (more ...)
Determine data gaps and line breaks.

-h[i|o][n][+c][+d][+rremark][+rtitle] (more ...)
Skip or produce header record(s).

-icols[l][sscale][ooffset][,...] (more ...)
Select input columns (0 is first column).

-p[x|y|z]azim/elev[/zlevel][+wlon0/lat0[/z0]][+vx0/y0] (more ...)
Select perspective view.

-t[transp] (more ...)
Set PDF transparency level in percent.

-:[i|o] (more ...)
Swap 1st and 2nd column on input and/or output.

-^ or just -
Print a short message about the syntax of the command, then exits (NOTE: on Windows
use just -).

-+ or just +
Print an extensive usage (help) message, including the explanation of any
module-specific option (but not the GMT common options), then exits.

-? or no arguments
Print a complete usage (help) message, including the explanation of options, then
exits.

--version
Print GMT version and exit.

--show-datadir
Print full path to GMT share directory and exit.

EXAMPLES

To make an overlay PostScript file that will set up a complex clip area to which
subsequent plotting will be confined, run:

gmt psclip my_region.xy -R0/40/0/40 -Jm0.3i -O -K > clip_mask_on.ps

To deactivate the clipping in an existing plotfile, run:

gmt psclip -C -O >> complex_plot.ps
