Thank you Paul! Works perfectly. I wish you a nice weekend.

To get the same margin at the upper border, I currently take a rough guess on the xmax and ymax values for -R...r and then tweaking these values until I get an eyeballed 5mm margin. This is not exact and becomes a really tedious task for charts at higher latitudes. >> >> Therefore I'm looking to automate this. My current thinking is to take my eyeballed -R xmax and calculate the required ymax value from xmax and the plot height of 200mm. I had a close look at mapproject -I, but my experimentation didn't yield anything useful so far. I have problems mixing the geodetical xmax with the Cartesian plot height. >> >> Any input is greatly appreciated. >> >> All the best, >> Kristof >> >> To unsubscribe, send the message "signoff gmt-help" to [email protected] > > To unsubscribe, send the message "signoff gmt-help" to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send the message "signoff gmt-help" to [email protected]
