NAME

       gmtset - To change individual GMT default parameters

SYNOPSIS

       gmtset [ -GfPdefaultsfile ] PARAMETER1 [=] value1 PARAMETER2 [=] value2 PARAMETER3 [=] value3 ...

DESCRIPTION

       gmtset  will adjust individual GMT defaults settings in the current directory's .gmtdefaults' file. If no
       such file exists one will be created. The main  purpose  of  gmtset  is  to  temporarily  change  certain
       parameters  inside  a  shellscript,  e.g., set the dots-per-inch to 600, run the script, and reset to 300
       dpi.

       PARAMETER value
              Provide one or several pairs of parameter/value combinations  that  you  want  to  modify.  For  a
              complete listing of available parameters and their meaning, see the gmtdefaults man page.

OPTIONS

       -G     Name  of  specific  .gmtdefaults file to modify [Default looks first in current directory, then in
              your home directory, and finally in the system defaults].

EXAMPLES

       To change the dpi to 600, set anotation font to Helvetica, and select grid-crosses of size 0.1 inch,  and
       set anotation offset to 0.2 cm, try

               gmtset DOTS_PR_INCH 600 ANOT_FONT Helvetica GRID_CROSS_SIZE 0.1i ANOT_OFFSET 0.2c
