Hello, I am trying to plot a geotiff using grdimage that I produced in matlab. The command I am running is: gmt grdimage geotiff.geo.tif -Q -Cvel.cpt -V However, I keep receiving the following (in verbose mode): grdimage [INFORMATION]: File geotiff.geo.tif reads with GDAL driver GTiff grdimage [INFORMATION]: Round-off patrol changed geographic grid increment for latitude from 0.014999999999999996 to 0.0149999999999999994 grdimage [INFORMATION]: Read header from file geotiff.geo.tif grdimage [INFORMATION]: File geotiff.geo.tif reads with GDAL driver GTiff grdimage [INFORMATION]: Round-off patrol changed geographic grid increment for latitude from 0.014999999999999996 to 0.0149999999999999994 grdimage [INFORMATION]: Central meridian not given, default to 53.5 grdimage [INFORMATION]: Map scale is 153.393 km per cm or 1:1.53393e+07. grdimage [INFORMATION]: Allocate and read data from file geotiff.geo.tif grdimage [INFORMATION]: Reading grid from file geotiff.geo.tif grdimage [INFORMATION]: Read band(s): 1 grdimage [INFORMATION]: Set boundary condition for left edge: natural grdimage [INFORMATION]: project grid files grdimage [INFORMATION]: Grid projection from size 1361x1038 to 1361x1038 grdimage [INFORMATION]: gmt\_grd\_project: Output grid extrema [-inf/inf] exceed extrema of input grid [-inf/60.7006] due to resampling grdimage [INFORMATION]: gmt\_grd\_project: See option -n+c to clip resampled output range to given input range double free or corruption (out) ./geotiff\_plot.gmt: line 34: 21041 Aborted (core dumped) gmt grdimage geotiff.geo.tif -Q -Cvel.cpt -V Is there a fix for this, or is it related to how I produced the tiff in matlab? Thanks, Jess ---

Can you post a small geotiff image that reproduces the issue (make a zip out of it and attach it to the post) ---

I have gotten around the issue by using matlab to convert the tif to a grd file: % load input tif [lon,lat,data,~,~] = read\_geotiff(in\_file); % write output grd grdwrite2(lon,lat,data,out\_file); ---

OK, but that does not help us fixing the crash. ---

The compressed geotiff is too large to attach but can be found at this link: [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1v4ZA8m85t1fbZXiqWicxkvwEnBzltTym?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1v4ZA8m85t1fbZXiqWicxkvwEnBzltTym?usp=sharing) ---

What is your GMT version? I can plot that file with no problems. ---

Ah, you should have said that before. Bug reports (almost) only make sense when using latest version. And that bug has been fixed.
