run the script, and reset to 300 dpi.

that you want to modify. For a complete listing of available
parameters and their meaning, see the gmtdefaults man page.

first in current directory, then in your home directory, and
finally in the system defaults].

grid-crosses of size 0.1 inch, and set anotation offset to 0.2 cm, try
