</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<B>psxy</B> reads (x,y) pairs from <I>files</I> [or standard input] and
generates <I>PostScript</I> code that will plot lines, polygons,
or symbols at those locations on a map. If a symbol is
selected and no symbol size given, then psxy will inter
pret the third column of the input data as symbol size.
Symbols whose size is <= 0 are skipped. If no symbols are
specified then the symbol code (see <B>-S</B> below) must be pre
sent as last column in the input. Multiple segment files
may be plotted using the <B>-M</B> option. If <B>-S</B> is not
selected, a line connecting the data points will be drawn
instead. To explicitly close polygons, use <B>-L</B>. Select a
shade with <B>-G</B>. If <B>-G</B> is set, <B>-W</B> will control whether the
polygon outline is drawn or not. If a symbol is selected,
<B>-G</B> and <B>-W</B> determines the fill color and outline/no out
line, respectively. The <I>PostScript</I> code is written to
standard output.
<I>files</I> List one or more file-names. If no files are given,
<B>psxy</B> will read standard input.
<B>-J</B> Selects the map projection. Scale is UNIT/degree,
1:xxxxx, or width in UNIT (upper case modifier).
UNIT is cm, inch, or m, depending on the MEA
SURE_UNIT setting in .<A HREF="gmtdefaults.html">gmtdefaults</A>, but this can be
overridden on the command line by appending the c,
i, or m to the scale/width value.

nates are given instead of wesn.
</PRE>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2><PRE>
No space between the option flag and the associated argu
ments.
<B>-A</B> Suppress drawing line segments as great circle
Arcs. [Default draws great circle arcs.]
for details.
<B>-C</B> Give a color palette file. When used with -S, lets
symbol color be determined by the z-value in the
third column. Additional fields are shifted over by
one column (optional size would be 4th rather than
3rd field, etc.). If -S is not set, psxy expects
the user to supply a multisegment polygon file
(requires -M) and will look for -Z<I>val</I> strings in
each multisegment header. The <I>val</I> will control the
color via the cpt file.
<B>-E</B> Draw error bars. Append <B>x</B> and/or <B>y</B> to indicate
which bars you want to draw (Default is both x and
y). The x and/or y errors must be stored in the
columns after the (x,y) pair [or (x,y,size)
triplet]. The <I>cap</I> parameter indicates the length of
the end-cap on the error bars [0.25c (or 0.1i)].
Pen attributes for error bars may also be set.
[Defaults: width = 1, color = 0/0/0, texture =
solid]. If upper case <B>X</B> and/or <B>Y</B> is used we will
instead draw "box-and-whisker" (or "stem-and-leaf")
symbols. The x (or y) coordinate is then taken as
the median value, and 4 more columns are expected
to contain the minimum (0% quartile), the 25% quar
tile, the 75% quartile, and the maximum (100% quar
tile) values. The 25-75% box may be filled by using
<B>-G</B>.
<B>-G</B> Select filling of polygons and symbols. Append the
shade (0-255), color (r/g/b), or <B>P</B>|<B>p</B><I>dpi</I>/<I>pattern</I>
(polygons only) [Default is no fill]. Note when <B>-M</B>
is chosen, <I>psxy</I> will search for <B>-G</B> and <B>-W</B> strings
in all the subheaders and let any found values
over-ride the command line settings.
<B>-H</B> Input file(s) has Header record(s). Number of
header records can be changed by editing your .gmt
defaults file. If used, <B><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></B> default is 1 header
record.
<B>-K</B> More <I>PostScript</I> code will be appended later
[Default terminates the plot system].
<B>-L</B> Force closed polygons: connect the endpoints of the
line-segment(s) and draw polygons.
<B>-M</B> Multiple segment file. Segments are separated by a
record whose first character is <I>flag</I>. [Default is
'>'].
<B>-N</B> Do NOT skip symbols that fall outside map border
new plot system].
<B>-P</B> Selects Portrait plotting mode [<B><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></B> Default is
Landscape, see gmtdefaults to change this].
<B>-S</B> Plot symbols. If present, <I>size</I> is symbol size in
the unit set in .gmtdefaults (unless <B>c</B>, <B>i</B>, <B>m</B>, or <B>p</B>
is appended). The uppercase symbols <B>A,</B> <B>C,</B> <B>D,</B> <B>H,</B> <B>I,</B>
<B>S,</B> <B>T</B> are normalized to have the same area as the
circle, while the corresponding lowercase symbols
all are circumscribed by the circle. Choose
between these symbol codes:
<B>-S</B> Read symbol code (see below) from last column in
the input data. Cannot be used in conjunction with
<B>-b</B>. Optionally, append <B>c</B>, <B>i</B>, <B>m</B>, <B>p</B> to indicate that
the size information in the input data is in units
of cm, inch, meter, or point, respectively.
[Default is MEASURE_UNIT].
<B>-Sa</B> st<B>a</B>r. <I>size</I> is diameter of circumscribing circle.
<B>-Sb</B> <B>b</B>ar extending from <I>base</I> to y. <I>size</I> is bar width.
Append <B>u</B> if <I>size</I> is in x-units [Default is plot-
distance units]. By default, <I>base</I> = 0. Append <B>b</B><I>base</I>
to change this value.
<B>-Sc</B> <B>c</B>ircle. <I>size</I> is diameter of circle.
<B>-Sd</B> <B>d</B>iamond. <I>size</I> is diameter of circumscribing circle.
<B>-Se</B> <B>e</B>llipse. Direction (in degrees counter-clockwise
from horizontal), major_axis, and minor_axis must
be found in columns 3, 4, and 5.
<B>-SE</B> Same as <B>-Se</B>, except azimuth (in degrees east of
north) should be given instead of direction. The
azimuth will be mapped into an angle based on the
chosen map projection (<B>-Se</B> leaves the directions
unchanged.) Furthermore, the axes lengths must be
given in km instead of plot-distance units.
<B>-Sf</B> <B>f</B>ront. <B>-Sf</B><I>gap/size</I>[<I>dir</I>][<I>type</I>][:<I>offset</I>]. Supply dis
tance gap between symbols and symbol size. If <I>gap</I>
is negative, it is interpreted to mean the number
of symbols along the front instead. Append <I>dir</I> to
plot symbols on the <B>l</B>eft or <B>r</B>ight side of the front
[Default is centered]. Append <I>type</I> to specify which
symbol to plot: <B>b</B>ox, <B>c</B>ircle, <B>f</B>ault, <B>s</B>lip, or <B>t</B>rian
gle. [Default is fault]. Slip means left-lateral
or right-lateral strike-slip arrows (centered is
not an option). Append :<I>offset</I> to offset the first
<B>-Sh</B> <B>h</B>exagon. <I>size</I> is diameter of circumscribing circle.
<B>-Si</B> <B>i</B>nverted triangle. <I>size</I> is diameter of circumscrib
ing circle.
<B>-Sl</B> <B>l</B>etter or text string (less than 64 characters).
Give size, and append /<I>string</I> after the size. Note
that the size is only approximate; no individual
scaling is done for different characters. Remember
to escape special characters like *. Optionally,
you may append %<I>font</I> to select a particular font
[Default is ANOT_FONT].
<B>-Sp</B> <B>p</B>oint. No size needs to be specified (1 pixel is
used).
<B>-Ss</B> <B>s</B>quare. <I>size</I> is diameter of circumscribing circle.
<B>-St</B> <B>t</B>riangle. <I>size</I> is diameter of circumscribing cir
cle.
<B>-Sv</B> <B>v</B>ector. Direction (in degrees counter-clockwise
from horizontal) and length must be found in
columns 3 and 4. <I>size</I>, if present, will be inter
preted as arrowwidth/headlength/headwidth [Default
is 0.075<B>c</B>/0.3<B>c</B>/0.25<B>c</B> (or 0.03<B>i</B>/0.12<B>i</B>/0.1<B>i</B>)]. By
default arrow attributes remains invariant to the
length of the arrow. To have the size of the vector
scale down with decreasing size, append <B>n</B><I>norm</I>,
where vectors shorter than <I>norm</I> will have their
attributes scaled by length/<I>norm</I>.
<B>-SV</B> Same as <B>-Sv</B>, except azimuth (in degrees east of
north) should be given instead of direction. The
azimuth will be mapped into an angle based on the
chosen map projection (<B>-Sv</B> leaves the directions
unchanged.)
<B>-Sw</B> pie <B>w</B>edge. Start and stop directions (in degrees
counter-clockwise from horizontal) for pie slice
must be found in columns 3 and 4.
<B>-Sx</B> cross. <I>size</I> is diameter of circumscribing circle.
<B>-U</B> Draw Unix System time stamp on plot. User may spec
ify where the lower left corner of the stamp should
fall on the page relative to lower left corner of
plot. Optionally, append a label, or <B>c</B> (which will
plot the command string.). The GMT parameters
UNIX_TIME and UNIX_TIME_POS can affect the appear
ance; see the <B><A HREF="gmtdefaults.html">gmtdefaults</A></B> man page for details.
reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].
<B>-W</B> Set pen attributes. [Defaults: width = 1, color =
0/0/0, texture = solid]. Implicitly draws the out
line of symbols with selected pen.
<B>-X</B> <B>-Y</B> Shift origin of plot by (<I>x-shift,y-shift</I>). Prepend
<B>a</B> for absolute coordinates; the default (<B>r</B>) will
reset plot origin.
<B>-:</B> Toggles between (longitude,latitude) and (lati
tude,longitude) input/output. [Default is (longi
tude,latitude)]. Applies to geographic coordinates
only.
<B>-c</B> Specifies the number of plot copies. [Default is 1]
<B>-bi</B> Selects binary input. Append <B>s</B> for single precision
[Default is double]. Append <I>n</I> for the number of
columns in the binary file(s). [Default is the
required number of columns given the chosen set
tings].

<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
The <B>-N</B> option does not adjust the BoundingBox information
so you may have to post-process the PostScript outout with
epstool or ps2epsi to obtain a correct BoundingBox.
<B>psxy</B> cannot handle filling of polygons that contain the
south or north pole. For such a polygon, make a copy and
split it into two and make each explicitly contain the
polar point. The two polygons will combine to give the
desired effect when filled; to draw outline use the origi
nal polygon.
