Hi Abhash-

That is a good question.  However, grdgradient with -D and -S can also return the direction of the gradient or the strike (-Dn), as well as the absolute value of the gradient.  If your units are correct (all meters or geographic with -fg (or -M in GMT4)) then take atan of the gradient and that should give you dip, no?

I looked at the man page of grdgradient and it can only calculate the gradient along a particular azimuth. I would be extremely grateful for any suggestions in this regards.
