Re: gmt2kml -L with a sting?

hmm, pretty sure the syntax is -L8:name and so on. (is the help is missing the “<“ before second “col:name>”)


gmt2kml 4.5.12 [64-bit] - Convert GMT data tables to KML files for Google Earth

usage: gmt2kml <infile> … [-L<col:name>,col:name>,...]

With OUT a column numbers I get the data in first column repeated over and over, and the bubble doesn’t open in GE

$ tail AK.txt 
 -151.604000    71.487900       -641       -894        253         -1            43     361934 /Volumes/RAID/multibeam/data/public/JAMSTEC/MR04-K05.cm

$ gmt2kml AK.txt -Llat,lon,depth,pred,diff,flag,sid,t,name

but this mostly works except of the text gets turned into Nan

$ gmt2kml AK.txt -L7:time,0:lat,1:lon,2:depth,3:predicted,4:diff,5:sigma_d,6:SID,8:file
