pscoast {gmt} | R Documentation |
Call GMT to draw a map (coastlines, borders, rivers) and save in postscript format.
pscoast(cmd, file=getOption("gmt.file"))
cmd |
string of arguments passed to pscoast . |
file |
filename where the map will be saved. |
The file
argument can be supplied with (recommended) or without
a full directory path. Without a path, the current working directory
is used (see getwd
and setwd
).
File type should be ‘.eps’ when PAPER_MEDIA
is A4+
or letter+
, but ‘.ps’ otherwise.
See the GMT documentation for details on pscoast
and other GMT commands.
Null, but a map is drawn and saved in postscript format.
A file named ‘.gmtcommands4’ is created in the current map
directory, dirname(file)
. It can be removed later using
psclose()
.
