Hi everyone. I’m using GMT 6.1 (classic mode) on a Windows PC. I have lines that I am labeling with the label in the segment header (+Lh) and the label location determined by a separate file with various line segments (-SqX). I also have a +f option to format the label text and a +n option to nudge the label above the line. This is the gmt code:
gmt psxy line.txt -Wthin,white,…- -SqX"placement.txt":+Lh+f8p,0,white+n0p/6p -J -R -O -K >> lines.ps
The line.txt file has this format:
`> -L"Line 1 Label"
x1 y1
x2 y2
`> -L"Line 2 Label"
x2 y2
x3 y3
All works as expected using the code and file format above. However all labels have the same attributes. What I want to do is have separate attributes for each segment and the documentation for psxy (-Sq option) states that this can be done:
By placing -Sq options in the segment header you can change the quoted text attributes on a segment-by-segment basis.
My problem is that I can’t get it to work and I can’t find any examples of how the segment should look. So my question is what elements of:
-SqX.“placement.txt”:+Lh+f8p,0,white+n0p/6p
can be moved to the segment header and how should the segment be structured?
