I have generated a shapefile of glacial lineations using a GIS, and have successfully converted the line shapefile to GMT format using OGR. The lineations plot fine in GMT. These features are similar to vectors, in the sense that they illustrate direction of flow, but they are different in that they are not described by a length and azimuth as vectors are using -Sv; they curved lines. I want to show the direction of flow by placing a triangle at the last x,y coordinate in the line segment, but is it possible to rotate a triangle symbol so that the triangle head is oriented correctly with respect to the trend of the line? This is basically the same issue described in https://listserv.hawaii.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0801&L=GMT-HELP&P=R52411&1=GMT-HELP&9=A&I=-3&J=on&d=No+Match%3BMatch%3BMatches&z=4 but I'm not sure if the functionality has been added in the intervening 6 years. The psxy manual doesn't seem to indicate that there is, but I thought I would ask anyway. Thanks, -- Eric Patton Mailing list for GMT discussions of all kinds.
