Hi again!
I am experiencing difficulties importing shapefiles into my map using GMT… the shapefiles contain fault parameters and the coordinates are in UTM. I am attempting to plot the fault onto my map using this: gmt psxy TFS_Timpe_faults_system_.shp -R507979/516997/4158052/4179279 -Jx1:300000 -W1p,red -L. However, my computer crashed and the fault is not in the correct position (the region in R). Do you have any suggestions for how I can work with UTM coordinates in GMT 6.5?
Hi, can you be more specific on this? Never heard that GMT crashed a computer. Did you get a “Blue-screen-of-death”?
To your figure, remember that you must use the same coordinate system for grdimage and psxy. So, either project the grid to UTM or the faults to geographics.
