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
