Hi, I am new to GMT and using version GMT6. How can we plot a cross-section line of 200km with respect to strike and given latitude and longitude? I suggested to plot use GMT project but there is no option of the strike. Thank you 🙂 ---

Looking for similar to this? > [@How extend profile?](https://flint.soest.hawaii.edu/t/how-extend-profile/2544): > > I have a profile (see below) that lengths ca. 15 km. and I want extend the profile that same distance in both direction. I.e. I want to add two extra points (at the beginning and the end following its azimuth) at a distance of 15 km (so the new profile would be 45 km). I think it should be easy but I can’t figure out how to do it. # Long Lat -66.04971205 -55.14285297 -66.01518493 -55.11524701 -65.97886793 -55.08903702 -65.94340697 -55.06219498 -65.90790703 -55.03662696 ---

many forum links are broken, pointing to flint.soest.hawaii.edu instead of [forum.generic-mapping-tools.org](http://forum.generic-mapping-tools.org). below is the correct link > [@How extend profile?](http://forum.generic-mapping-tools.org/t/how-extend-profile/2544): > > I have a profile (see below) that lengths ca. 15 km. and I want extend the profile that same distance in both direction.

See the doc for `grdtrack` with parameter `-S`. If your data are not gridded, you can bin them using `xyz2grd`, or `binstat` or `block[...]` … 🙂
