Synopsis

[ -Rregion ]
[ -V[level] ]
Note: No space is allowed between the option flag and the associated arguments.
Description
x2sys_get will return the names of the track data files in the
x2sys data base for this TAG that match the given requirements. You may
choose a specific region and optionally ask only for tracks that meet
certain data criteria. Finally, you may select an option to list all
possible pairs that might generate crossovers.
Required Arguments
- -TTAG
- Specify the x2sys TAG which tracks the attributes of this data type.
Optional Arguments
- -C
- Instead of reporting the track names, just output the coordinates of
the center of each bin that has at least one track with the
specified data.
- -D
- Only report the track names [Default adds the availability of data for each field].
- -Fflags
- Give a comma-separated list of column names (as described in the
definition file) that should be present. [Default selects all data columns].
- -G
- Report data flags (Y or N) for the entire track rather than just for
the portion that is inside the region set by -R [Default].
- -L[+][list]
- Crossover mode. Return a list of track pairs that should be checked
for possible crossovers. The list is determined from the bin-index
data base on the assumption that tracks occupying the same bin are
very likely to intersect. By default we return all possible pairs in
the data base. Append the name of a file with a list of tracks if
you want to limit the output to those pairs that involve at least
one of the track names in your list. The output is suitable for the
-A option in x2sys_cross. By default, only external
crossover pairs are listed. Use -L+ to include internal pairs in the list.
- -Nflags
- Give a comma-separated list of column names (as described in the
definition file) that must be absent.
- -R[unit]west/east/south/north[/zmin/zmax][r]
- west, east, south, and north specify the region of interest,
and you may specify them in decimal degrees or in
[+-]dd:mm[:ss.xxx][W|E|S|N] format. Append r if lower left
and upper right map coordinates are given instead of w/e/s/n. The
two shorthands -Rg and -Rd stand for global domain (0/360
and -180/+180 in longitude respectively, with -90/+90 in latitude).
Alternatively for grid creation, give Rcodelon/lat/nx/ny, where
code is a 2-character combination of L, C, R (for left, center, or right)
and T, M, B for top, middle, or bottom. e.g., BL for lower left. This
indicates which point on a rectangular region the lon/lat coordinate
refers to, and the grid dimensions nx and ny with grid spacings via
-I is used to create the corresponding region.
Alternatively, specify the name of an existing grid file and the
-R settings (and grid spacing, if applicable) are copied from
the grid. Using -Runit expects projected (Cartesian)
coordinates compatible with chosen -J and we inversely project
to determine actual rectangular geographic region.
For perspective view (-p), optionally append /zmin/zmax.
In case of perspective view (-p), a z-range (zmin, zmax)
can be appended to indicate the third dimension. This needs to be
done only when using the -Jz option, not when using only the
-p option. In the latter case a perspective view of the plane is
plotted, with no third dimension. For Cartesian
data just give xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax. This option limits the tracks
to those that fall at least partly inside the specified domain.
- -V[level] (more ...)
- Select verbosity level [c].
- -^ or just -
- Print a short message about the syntax of the command, then exits (NOTE: on Windows use just -).
- -+ 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
options, then exits.
- --version
- Print GMT version and exit.
- --show-datadir
- Print full path to GMT share directory and exit.
Examples
To find all the tracks associated with the tag MGD77, restricted to
occupy a certain region in the south Pacific, and have at least free air
anomalies and bathymetry, try
gmt x2sys_get -V -TMGD77 -R180/240/-60/-30 -Ffaa,depth
To find all the tracks associated with the tag MGD77 that have depth but
not twt, try
gmt x2sys_get -V -TMGD77 -Fdepth -Nwt
To find all the pairs associated with the tag MGD77 that might intersect
each other, but only those pairs which involves tracks in your list
new.lis, try
gmt x2sys_get -V -TMGD77 -Lnew.lis > xpairs.lis
Note
The tracks that are returned all have the requested data (-F) within
the specified region (-R). Furthermore, the columns of Y and N for
other data types also reflect the content of the track portion within
the selected region, unless -G is set.
