I am using GMT 5, and I want to create a map with grid lines using the script below. However, the result has grid lines with two colors, black and white, while I want only the lines without any colors. How can I get just grid lines without color strip white and black #!/bin/sh FS=15 RR=115.800283333/116.84011/-9.02833333333/-8.15666666667 BO=a0.2f0/a0.2f0.NseW PS\_NAME=Lombok\_3DEW.jpg GEBCO=SRTM\_lombok.grd LOS=Lombok\_3DEW\_Vel.grd fcI=mis.cpt gmt makecpt -Cpolar -T-0.5/0.5/0.1 -Z -D \> $fcI LB=lombok\_fault.gmt #LIG=legenda\_sesar\_blue.txt #----------------------------------------------- SCALE\_LAT=-8.95 SCALE\_LON=115.9 SCALE\_LENG=10 #----------------------------------------------- SCALE={SCALE\_LON}/{SCALE\_LAT}/{SCALE\_LAT}/{SCALE\_LENG} S\_VER=a875:Elevation:/Ⓜ #echo “-10000 200 10000 200” \> gray.cpt gmt grdcut $GEBCO -R$RR -GGRAY gmt psbasemap -JM$FS -R$RR -B$BO -K \> $PS\_NAME gmt grdgradient GRAY -Nt1 -A45 -GGRAY\_i gmt grdimage GRAY -IGRAY\_i -R$RR -JM$FS -Cgray.cpt -K -O \>\> $PS\_NAME gmt grdimage $LOS -R$RR -JM$FS -C$fcI -Q -K -O \>\> $PS\_NAME gmt pscoast -JM$FS -R$RR -B$BO -L$SCALE -Df -Swhite -W0.3 -K -O \>\> $PS\_NAME gmt psscale -C$fcI -Dx0.5c/5c+w2.5c/0.2c+v -Bxaf -By+l"(m)" -K -O \>\> $PS\_NAME gmt psxy $LB -R$RR -JM$FS -W0.7,red -K -O \>\> $PS\_NAME #legenda echo “115.85 -8.27 0 3 0 0 utara” | gmt psvelo -R$RR -JM$FS -W5,black -Gblack -A0.12/0.16/0.12 -Se0.2/0.05 -K -O \>\> $PS\_NAME echo “115.85 -8.2 U” | gmt pstext -R$RR -JM$FS -F+f12p,Helvetica -O \>\> $PS\_NAME gmt psconvert $PS\_NAME -Tj -A The results of script (focus on grid line) ![Lombok_3DEW](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex047/uploads/gmt/original/2X/d/db48739fa556c7cf8f62871301616c86067b1285.jpeg) The results that I want (focus on grid line) ![s_model2_exp](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex047/uploads/gmt/original/2X/f/f8e8f32f9da1108423a87aa428439820417a08aa.jpeg) ---

Think you are confusing the names of things. Gridlines are set via the g-directive to **-B** , e.g. -Bg5, which you are not using, but looks like you are talking about the base frame checkerboard black/white pattern. That is controlled with **MAP\_FRAME\_TYPE** and is by default fancy. Set to plain for just a black outline. ---

thankyou it’s solved. I want to ask another question, I have 4 layouts and I want to display in one map. But in this case the third map is always cut out of the map. How to make 4 layouts in one map without cut? the format layout that I want is: layout 1 layout 2 layout 3 layout 4 sorry for very basic question ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex047/uploads/gmt/original/2X/5/5039cefcb194ef2f55d90ac458bb154d8f825730.jpeg) My script is ---

Sory, too much GMT classic mode weed. I would use modern mode and subplot for stuff like this and reduce the code by \> 50%. But have no time to do this for you. ---

try selecting larger paper size: ```auto gmt set PS_MEDIA a3 # or a2 if you need even more space ``` or learn gmt modern mode. ---
