psmegaplot − To create poster-size PostScript plots from page-size plot
psmegaplot plotfile −Sscale [ −C ]
psmegaplot
reads a GMT-produced PostScript file and
’blows it up’ by an arbitrary scale. The result
is several plots that make up the pieces in a jigsaw puzzle.
Cut and paste these pieces to make a ’megaplot’.
plotfile
PostScript file as created by the GMT programs.
|
−S |
Multiply the x- and y-dimension by scale. scale must be larger than 1.0. |
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments.
|
−C |
Plot crop marks in each corner of every output page. [Default is no marks] |
To magnify a contour-map PostScript file 3 times, giving a total of 9 output pages to be pasted together, use
psmegaplot hawaii_contour.ps −S 3 −C > hawaii_contour_megaplot.ps
This program is unlikely to work on non-GMT-produced PostScript files since it anticipates the structure of the file. It also assumes that the output media is Letter size.
