6.4 A 3-D perspective mesh plot
</H1>

<P>
This example will illustrate how to make a fairly complicated
composite figure.  We need a subset of the ETOPO5 bathymetry<A NAME="tex2html382"
  HREF="footnode.html#foot10400"><SUP>6.1</SUP></A>and Geosat geoid data sets which we will extract from the local
data bases using <A NAME="tex2html384"
  HREF="../grdraster.html"><I><B>grdraster</B></I></A><A NAME="10409"></A>.  We would like to show a
2-layer perspective plot where layer one shows a contour map
of the marine geoid with the location of the Hawaiian islands
superposed, and a second layer showing the 3-D mesh plot of
the topography.  We also add an arrow pointing north and some
text.  This is how to do it:

The purpose of the color palette file <U>zero.cpt</U> is to have
the positive topography mesh painted light gray (the remainder
is white).  Figure&nbsp;<A HREF="node77.html#fig:GMT_example_04">6.4</A> shows the complete illustration.

A color version of this figure was used in our first article in EOS
Trans. AGU  (Oct. 8th, 1991).  It was created along similar
lines, but instead of a mesh plot we chose a color-coded surface
with artificial illumination from a light-source due north.
We choose to use the <B>-Qi</B> option in <A NAME="tex2html385"
  HREF="../grdview.html"><I><B>grdview</B></I></A><A NAME="10473"></A> to
achieve a high degree of smoothness.  Here, we select 100 dpi
since that will be the resolution of our final raster
(The EOS raster was 300 dpi). We used <A NAME="tex2html386"
  HREF="../grdgradient.html"><I><B>grdgradient</B></I></A><A NAME="10482"></A> to
provide the intensity files.  The following script creates
the color <I>PostScript</I> file.  Note that the size of the
resulting output file is directly dependent on the square of
the dpi chosen for the scanline conversion.  A higher value
for dpi in <B>-Qi</B> would have resulted in a much larger
output file.  The cpt files were taken from Example 2.
