Hi John, > I want to print this map on a t-shirt and don't want any color outside > of the map frame and scale. > > In the attempts that I've made so far, I found that Brent's suggestion > of putting the '---' code into the foreground color produces a *.ps file > that does what I want when I view it with the Imagemagick viewer. Hmmm, imagemagick is just a front-end to ghostscript and suboptimal for GMT output, try using ps2raster (which is also a ghostcript front-end, but optimal :-)) with the -TG option. Then you get a png with transparency (of "untouched regions"), print that on your shirt. If your printer insists that you need to convert this png to pdf then you you *might* be able to do it with "convert", if that doesn't work try sam2p or other tools. Good luck Jim -- J.J.
