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
