This means that two consecutive (*x*,\ *y*) points define the local distance axis, and the local *z* axis is then perpendicular to the distance axis, forming a right-handed coordinate system. The user may set a preferred positive anomaly plot direction, and if the positive normal is outside the plus/minus 90 degree window around the preferred direction, then 180 degrees are added to the direction. Either the positive or the negative wiggle may be shaded. The resulting PostScript code is written to standard output. Required Arguments ------------------ .. _-J: .. |Add_-J| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_-J.rst_ .. _-R: .. |Add_-R| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_-R.rst_ .. |Add_-Rz| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_-Rz.rst_ .. _-Z: **-Z**\ *scale*\ [*units*] Gives anomaly scale in data-units/distance-unit, where distance-unit is the currently chosen unit specified by PROJ_LENGTH_UNIT. Alternatively, append a distance-unit among the other choices (c\|i\|p). Optional Arguments ------------------ .. |Add_intables| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_intables.rst_ .. _-A: **-A**\ [*azimuth*] Sets the preferred positive azimuth. Positive wiggles will "gravitate" towards that direction, i.e., azimuths of the normal direction to the track will be flipped into the -90/+90 degree window centered on *azimuth* and that defines the positive wiggle side. If no azimuth is given the no preferred azimuth is enforced. Default is **-A**\ 0. .. _-B: .. include:: explain_-B.rst_ .. _-C: **-C**\ *center* Subtract *center* from the data set before plotting [0]. .. _-G: **-G**\ [**+**\ \|\ **-**\ \|\ **=**]\ *fill* Set fill shade, color or pattern for positive and/or negative wiggles [Default is no fill]. Optionally, prepend **+** to fill positive areas (this is the default behavior). Prepend **-** to fill negative areas. Prepend **=** to fill both positive and negative areas with the same fill. .. _-I: **-I**\ *fix_az* Set a fixed azimuth projection for wiggles [Default uses track azimuth, but see **-A**]. With this option, the calculated track-normal azimuths are overridden by *fixed_az*. .. include:: explain_-Jz.rst_ .. _-K: .. include:: explain_-K.rst_ .. _-O: .. include:: explain_-O.rst_ .. _-P: .. include:: explain_-P.rst_ .. _-S: **-S**\ [**x**]\ *lon0*/*lat0*/*length*\ [/*units*] Draws a simple vertical scale centered on *lon0/lat0*. Use **-Sx** to specify cartesian coordinates instead. *length* is in z units, append unit name for labeling. **FONT\_ANNOT\_PRIMARY** is used as font. .. _-T: **-T**\ *pen* Draw track [Default is no track]. Append pen attributes to use [Defaults: width = 0.25p, color = black, style = solid]. .. _-U: .. include:: explain_-U.rst_ .. _-: .. |Add_-V| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_-V.rst_ .. _-W: **-W**\ *pen* .. |Add_-bi| replace:: [Default is 3 input columns]. .. include:: explain_-bi.rst_ .. |Add_-di| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_-di.rst_ .. |Add_-e| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_-e.rst_ .. |Add_-f| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_-f.rst_ .. |Add_-g| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_-g.rst_ .. |Add_-h| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_-h.rst_ .. include:: explain_-icols.rst_ .. |Add_perspective| unicode:: 0x20 .. just an invisible code .. include:: explain_perspective.rst_ .. include:: explain_-t.rst_ .. include:: explain_colon.rst_ .. include:: explain_help.rst_ Examples -------- To plot the magnetic anomaly stored in the file track.xym along track @ 1000 nTesla/cm (after removing a mean value of 32000 nTesla), using a 15-cm-wide Polar Stereographic map ticked every 5 degrees in Portrait mode, with positive anomalies in red on a blue track of width 0.25 points, use :: gmt pswiggle track.xym -R-20/10/-80/-60 -JS0/90/15c -Z1000 -B5 \ -C32000 -P -Gred -T0.25p,blue -S1000 -V > track_xym.ps and the positive anomalies will in general point in the north direction. To instead enforce a fixed azimuth of 45 for the positive wiggles, we add **-I** and obtain :: gmt pswiggle track.xym -R-20/10/-80/-60 -JS0/90/15c -Z1000 -B5 \ -C32000 -P -Gred -I45 -T0.25p,blue -S1000 -V > track_xym.ps Bugs ---- Sometimes the (x,y) coordinates are not printed with enough significant digits, so the local perpendicular to the track swings around a lot. To see if this is the problem, you should do this: :: awk '{ if (NR > 1) print atan2(y-$1, x-$2); y=$1; x=$2; }' yourdata.xyz | more (note that output is in radians; on some machines you need "nawk" to do this). Then if these numbers jump around a lot, you may do this: :: awk '{ print NR, $0 }' yourdata.xyz | filter1d -Fb5 -N4/0 \ --FORMAT_FLOAT_OUT=%.12g > smoothed.xyz which performs a 5-point boxcar filter, and plot this data set instead.
