NAME¶
grdpaste - Join two grids along their common edge
SYNOPSIS¶
grdpaste file_a.nc file_b.nc -Goutfile.nc [
-V[
level] ] [
-fflags ]
Note: No space is allowed between the option flag and the associated
arguments.
DESCRIPTION¶
grdpaste will combine
file_a.nc and
file_b.nc into
outfile.nc by pasting them together along their common edge. Files
file_a.nc and
file_b.nc must have the same dx, dy and have one
edge in common. If in doubt, check with
grdinfo and use
grdcut
and/or
grdsample if necessary to prepare the edge joint. Note: For
geographical grids, you may have to use
-f to handle periodic
longitudes unless the input grids are properly recognized as such via their
meta-data.
REQUIRED ARGUMENTS¶
- file_a.nc
- One of two files to be pasted together.
- file_b.nc
- The other of two files to be pasted together.
- -Goutfile.nc
- The name for the combined output.
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS¶
- -V[level] (more ...)
- Select verbosity level [c].
- -f[i|o]colinfo (more ...)
- Specify data types of input and/or output columns.
- -^ or just -
- Print a short message about the syntax of the command, then exits (NOTE:
on Windows use just -).
- -+ or just +
- Print an extensive usage (help) message, including the explanation of any
module-specific option (but not the GMT common options), then exits.
- -? or no arguments
- Print a complete usage (help) message, including the explanation of
options, then exits.
By default GMT writes out grid as single precision floats in a COARDS-complaint
netCDF file format. However, GMT is able to produce grid files in many other
commonly used grid file formats and also facilitates so called
"packing" of grids, writing out floating point data as 1- or 2-byte
integers.

EXAMPLES¶
Suppose file_a.nc is 150E - 180E and 0 - 30N, and file_b.nc is 150E - 180E, -30S
- 0, then you can make outfile.nc which will be 150 - 180 and -30S - 30N by:
gmt grdpaste file_a.nc file_b.nc -Goutfile.nc -V -fg
