Paul, without having it tried - wouldn't this expand the brown box up as I added a line to it? Currently I'm using -F...+jCT for the white and -F...+jCB for the brown box.

In other circumstances this is a very cool feature to have (and is saving me lots of time and headaches). In this case it destroys my optical illusion. I'd like to have the brownish box at the same width as the white box. >> >> Any ideas to obtain the desired look are welcome. >> >> All the best, >> Kristof >> >> >> >> <1.png><2.png><3.png> >> -- >> My PGP Public Key: http://kristofkoch.de/pgp/ >> >> To unsubscribe, send the message "signoff gmt-help" to [email protected] > > To unsubscribe, send the message "signoff gmt-help" to [email protected] -- My PGP Public Key: http://kristofkoch.de/pgp/ To unsubscribe, send the message "signoff gmt-help" to [email protected]
