       grd2xyz - Converting a grdfile to an ASCII or binary table


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
       <B>grd2xyz</B>   <I>grdfile</I>   [   <B>-H</B>[<I>nrec</I>]    ]    [    <B>-L</B>    ]    [
       <B>-R</B><I>west/east/south/north</I>[<B>r</B>] [ <B>-S</B>[<B>r</B> ] [ <B>-V</B> ] [ <B>-Z</B>[<I>flags</I>] ] [
       <B>-bo</B>[<B>s</B>] ]


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
       <B>grd2xyz</B> reads a binary 2-D grdfile  and  writes  out  xyz-
       triplets  in  ASCII [or binary] format to standard output.
       Modify the precision of the ASCII output format by editing
       the  D_FORMAT  parameter  in  your  .gmtdefaults  file, or
       choose binary output  using  single  or  double  precision
       storage.  As an option you may output z-values without the
       (x,y) in a number of formats, see <B>-Z</B> below.

       <I>grdfile</I>
              The 2-D binary file to be converted.


</PRE>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2><PRE>
       <B>-H</B>     Output 1 header record based on information in  the
              grdfile   header.   Ignored  if  binary  output  is
              selected. [Default is no header].

       <B>-L</B>     Indicates that the x values are longitudes  (neces
              sary for <B>-:</B> to work).

       <B>-R</B>     <I>west,</I>  <I>east,</I> <I>south,</I> and <I>north</I> specify the Region of
              interest. To specify boundaries in degrees and min
              utes  [and  seconds],  use  the  dd:mm[:ss] format.
              Append <B>r</B> if lower left and upper right map  coordi
              nates are given instead of wesn.

       <B>-S</B>     Suppress  output for nodes whose z-value equals NaN
              [Default outputs all nodes].  Append <B>r</B>  to  reverse
              the  suppression, i.e., only output the nodes whose
              z-value equals NaN.

       <B>-V</B>     Selects verbose  mode,  which  will  send  progress
              reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].

       <B>-Z</B>     Write  a  1-column  ASCII [or binary] table. Output
              will be organized according to the specified order
              ing  convention contained in <I>flags</I>.  If data should
              be written by rows, make <I>flags</I> start with <B>T</B>(op)  if
              first row is y = ymax or <B>B</B>(ottom) if first row is y
              = ymin. Then, append <B>L</B> or <B>R</B> to indicate that  first
              element  should  start at left or right end of row.
              Likewise for column formats: start with <B>L</B> or  <B>R</B>  to
              position  first  column,  and then append <B>T</B> or <B>B</B> to
              position first element in a row.  For gridline reg
              istered  grids:  If  grid  is periodic in x but the
              y, skip writing the redundant row at y  =  ymax  by
              appending <B>y</B>. If the byte-order needs to be swapped,
              append <B>w</B>. Select one of  several  data  types  (all
              binary except <B>a</B>):

                      <B>a</B> ASCII representation
                      <B>c</B> signed 1-byte character
                      <B>u</B> unsigned 1-byte character
                      <B>h</B> short 2-byte integer
                      <B>i</B> 4-byte integer
                      <B>l</B> long (4- or 8-byte) integer
                      <B>f</B> 4-byte floating point single precision
                      <B>d</B> 8-byte floating point double precision

              Default  format  is  scanline  orientation of ASCII
              numbers: <B>-ZTLa</B>.   Note  that  <B>-Z</B>  only  applies  to
              1-column output.

       <B>-bo</B>    Selects  binary  output. Append <B>s</B> for single preci
              sion [Default is double].  This option only applies
              to xyz output; see <B>-Z</B> for z table output.

<H2>EXAMPLES</H2><PRE>
       To  edit  individual values in the 5' by 5' hawaii_grv.grd
       file, try

       grd2xyz hawaii_grv.grd &gt; hawaii_grv.xyz

       To write a single precision binary file  without  the  x,y
       positions  from the file raw_data.grd file, using scanline
       orientation, try

       grd2xyz raw_data.grd <B>-ZTLf</B> &gt; hawaii_grv.b
