GMTSET(1)                    Generic Mapping Tools                   GMTSET(1)

NAME
       gmtset - To change individual GMT default parameters

SYNOPSIS
       gmtset [ -Gdefaultsfile ] PARAMETER1 [=] value1 PARAMETER2 [=] value2
       PARAMETER3 [=] value3 ...

DESCRIPTION
       gmtset will adjust individual GMT defaults settings in the current
       directory's .gmtdefaults4 file.  If no such file exists one will be
       created.  The main purpose of gmtset is temporarily to change certain
       parameters inside a shell script, e.g., set the dots-per-inch to 600,
       run the script, and reset to 300 dpi.  Optionally, you can specify one
       or more temporary changes directly on any GMT command line with the
       syntax --PARAMETER=value; such changes are only in effect for that
       command and do not permanently change the default settings on disk.

       PARAMETER value
              Provide one or several pairs of parameter/value combinations
              that you want to modify.  For a complete listing of available
              parameters and their meaning, see the gmtdefaults man page.

OPTIONS
       -G     Name of specific .gmtdefaults4 file to modify [Default looks
              first in current directory, then in your home directory, then in
              ~/.gmt and finally in the system defaults].

EXAMPLES
       To change the dpi to 600, set annotation font to Helvetica, and select
       grid-crosses of size 0.1 inch, and set annotation offset to 0.2 cm:

       gmtset DOTS_PR_INCH 600 ANNOT_FONT_PRIMARY Helvetica
       GRID_CROSS_SIZE_PRIMARY 0.1i ANNOT_OFFSET_PRIMARY 0.2c
