psclose {gmt}R Documentation

Finalize GMT Map

Description

Call GMT to finalize a map and save in postscript format.

Usage

psclose(file=getOption("gmt.file"), trailer=TRUE, cleanup=TRUE)

Arguments

file filename where the map is saved.
trailer whether a closing trailer should be appended to the postscript file.
cleanup whether history files ‘.gmtcommands4’ and ‘.gmtdefaults4’ should be removed, leaving no trace except the postscript file.

Details

A closing trailer is required if the last plotting command included -K (default behaviour).

Value

Null, but the map is finalized and saved in postscript format.

Note

This function performs four tasks: (1) appends a closing trailer to the postscript file [optional], (2) removes GMT files in temporary directory, (3) removes GMT history files in map directory [optional], and (4) moves the bounding box declaration to the postsript file header.

This last enables Ghostscript to distill a PDF map using the -dEPSCrop method.
