.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBtalwani2d\fP will read the multi\-segment \fImodeltable\fP from file (or standard input).
This file contains cross\-sections of one or more 2\-D bodies, with one polygon
per segment.  The segment header must contain the parameter \fIrho\fP, which
states the the density of this body (individual body
densities may be overridden by a fixed constant density contrast given via an optional \fB\-D\fP).
We can compute anomalies on an equidistant lattice (by specifying a lattice with
\fB\-T\fP) or provide arbitrary output points specified in a file via \fB\-N\fP\&.
Choose between free\-air anomalies, vertical gravity gradient anomalies, or geoid anomalies.
Options are available to control axes units and direction.
.SH REQUIRED ARGUMENTS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fImodeltable\fP
The file describing cross\-sectional polygons of one or more bodies.  Polygons
will be automatically closed if not already closed, and repeated vertices will
be eliminated.  The segment header for each body will be examined for a density
parameter in kg/m^3; see \fB\-D\fP for overriding this value.

.SH UNITS
.sp
For map distance unit, append \fIunit\fP \fBd\fP for arc degree, \fBm\fP for arc
minute, and \fBs\fP for arc second, or \fBe\fP for meter [Default], \fBf\fP
for foot, \fBk\fP for km, \fBM\fP for statute mile, \fBn\fP for nautical mile,
and \fBu\fP for US survey foot. By default we compute such distances using
a spherical approximation with great circles (\fB\-jg\fP). You can use \fB\-jf\fP to perform
"Flat Earth" calculations (quicker but less accurate) or \fB\-je\fP to perform
exact geodesic calculations (slower but more accurate; see
PROJ_GEODESIC for method used).
.SH GENERATE 1D ARRAY
.sp
Make an evenly spaced coordinate array from \fImin\fP to \fImax\fP in steps of \fIinc\fP\&.
Append \fB+b\fP if we should take log2 of \fImin\fP and \fImax\fP and build an equidistant
log2\-array using \fIinc\fP integer increments in log2.
Append \fB+l\fP if we should take log10 of \fImin\fP and \fImax\fP and build an
array where \fIinc\fP can be 1 (every magnitude), 2, (1, 2, 5 times magnitude) or 3
(1\-9 times magnitude).  For less than every magnitude, use a negative integer \fIinc\fP\&.
Append \fB+n\fP if \fIinc\fP is meant to indicate the number of equidistant coordinates
instead.   Alternatively, give a \fIfile\fP with output coordinates in the first column,
or provide a comma\-separated \fIlist\fP of coordinates.  If you only want a \fIsingle\fP value
then you must append a comma to distinguish the list from the setting of \fIinc\fP\&.
.sp
If the module allows you to set up an absolute time series, append a valid time unit from the list
\fBy\fPear, m\fBo\fPnth, \fBw\fPeek, \fBd\fPay, \fBh\fPour, \fBm\fPinute, and \fBs\fPecond
to the given increment; add \fB+t\fP to ensure time column (or use \fB\-f\fP) Note: The internal time
unit is still controlled independently by TIME_UNIT\&.  Some modules allow for \fB+a\fP
which will paste the coordinate array to the output table.
.sp
Likewise, if the module allows you to set up a spatial distance series (with distance computed
from the first two data columns), specify the increment as \fIinc\fP[\fIunit\fP] with a
geospatial distance unit from the list
\fBd\fPegree (arc), \fBm\fPinute (arc), \fBs\fPecond (arc), m\fBe\fPter, \fBf\fPoot, \fBk\fPilometer,
\fBM\fPiles (statute), \fBn\fPautical miles, or s\fBu\fPrvey foot; see \fB\-j\fP for calculation mode.
For Cartesian distances, you must use the special unit \fBc\fP\&.
.sp
Finally, if you are only providing an increment and obtain \fImin\fP and \fImax\fP from the data, then it is
possible (\fImax\fP \- \fImin\fP)/\fIinc\fP is not an integer, as required.  If so then \fIinc\fP will be adjusted to accordingly.
Alternatively, append \fB+e\fP to keep \fIinc\fP exact and adjust \fImax\fP instead.

.SH NOTES
.INDENT 0.0
.IP 1. 3
The 2\-D geoid anomaly is a logarithmic potential and thus has no natural
reference level.  We simply remove the most negative (if density contrast
is positive) or positive (if density contrast is negative) computed value
from all values, rendering the entire anomaly positive (or negative).  You
can use gmtmath to change the zero level to suit your needs.
