We want to create two contour maps of the low order geoid
using the Hammer equal area projection. Our gridded data
file is called <U>osu91a1f_16.grd</U> and contains a global 1<IMG

ALT="$^{o}$"> gridded geoid (we will see how to make gridded
files later). We would like to show one map centered on
Greenwich and one centered on the dateline. Positive contours
should be drawn with a solid pen and negative contours with
a dashed pen. Annotations should occur for every 50 m contour
level, and both contour maps should show the continents in
light gray in the background. Finally, we want a rectangular
frame surrounding the two maps. This is how it is done:

The first command draws a box surrounding the maps. This is
followed by two sequences of
<A NAME="tex2html352"
HREF="../pscoast.html"><I><B>pscoast</B></I></A><A NAME="9988"></A>, <A NAME="tex2html353"
HREF="../grdcontour.html"><I><B>grdcontour</B></I></A>, <A NAME="tex2html354"
HREF="../grdcontour.html"><I><B>grdcontour</B></I></A>.
They differ in that the first is centered on Greenwich; the
second on the dateline. We use the limit option (<B>-L</B>)
in <A NAME="tex2html355"
HREF="../grdcontour.html"><I><B>grdcontour</B></I></A><A NAME="10008"></A> to select negative contours only and plot
those with a dashed pen, then positive contours only and draw
with a solid pen [Default]. The <B>-T</B> option causes tickmarks
pointing in the downhill direction to be drawn on the innermost,
closed contours. For the upper panel we also added - and + to
the local lows and highs. You can find this illustration as
Figure <A HREF="node74.html#fig:GMT_example_01">6.1</A>.
