Not to mention that 1. Most GMT plots are composites built by several GMT calls, so not easy to do that in one long-winded pipe with no file to append to, 2. In order to determine proper bounding box of a general plot we need to use ghostscript more than once, hence temp file is required. So if you want things to go fast then JJ is absolutely right: get fast computer, perhaps with SSD. -p On Jan 20, 2014, at 2:41 PM, J.J.
