Earth Relief File Dimensions

Please can someone explain why the file dimensions for 01d in

are 361 x 181, whilst the file dimensions for 01d in


are 360 x 180 ? Why is there an extra degree in the first file?

Also, the file dimensions in http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/doc/latest/datasets.html need serious revision. Their values are not correct.

Pixel vs grid line registration

What dimensions (other than size) are wrong - they look good to me

a/ Is the comment ‘Pixel vs grid line registration’ explaining why there is an extra degree? Is there some online page that explains this in greater detail, please?

b/ In the file ‘http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/doc/latest/datasets.html’ there are 10 files with the same dimensions.

Are you aware that original SRTM grids are grid registered and when you find them with pixel registrations they were subjected to a destructive grid change?

See GMT documentation on that topic

I found this, which explains it. Thank you.
