Error plotting heatmap

#1

I am trying to plot heat map with 12 rows and 1 column matrix. I used the following commands:

gmt xyz2grd Try1.txt -Gtmp1.grd -I1 -R0/0/12/1
gmt grdimage tmp1.grd -R0/0/12/1 -CColor.cpt -JX10c/10c -Q -O >> Output.ps

The Output.ps file is created but it shows error while opening file:
Error: /undefined in A

Are you appending the grdimage output to some earlier part of the plot with -O? -O means add another layer. If there is nothing before then no -O. But you are appending (>>) so unclear what you are doing, but sounds like there is no PostSCript header from a previous call.

#3

Even after removing -O, the error still remains the same.

#4

Maybe the problem is with -R.
The correct syntax is: -R xmin / xmax / ymin / ymax
So, you should try with -R0/12/0/1.

#5

If you still have >> then you are screwed no matter what since you keep appending to the same file.
