GMT_format changed

Q&A
1

Hi everyone,
I get some problems with format changes automatically when I move the files into another folder.

Please, help me to overcome this situation.
Thanks in advance.
There are two different out put files with the same coding and files.

VWS_TS_2018

VWS_TS_2018

Check your gmtset parameters. For example FONT_LABEL 40p is a letter size too big (I think).

Thanks for your reply.
But the key problem here is why the same GMT’s coding with placing in different folder locations could change output images.

Check this link:

You probably have a gmt.conf in one dir and not the other.

So how I set gmt.conf for all of them ?
