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
              just use -).

       -+ 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  all  options,
              then exits.

GRID FILE FORMATS

       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. (more ...)

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
