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 cre-
       ated. 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
