Time axis issue

Q&A

Dear all,

With the following psbasemap call:

psbasemap -JX10/5 -R2022-11-15T/2023-01-15T/2000/7000 -Bpxa7Rf1d -Bsxa10 -Byf500a1000 -BWenS > ps

the output PS file seems to be erroneously big (50 MB), what am I missing here? In gmtdefaults I have:

FORMAT_TIME_PRIMARY_MAP        = Character
FORMAT_TIME_SECONDARY_MAP      = full
FORMAT_TIME_STAMP              = %Y %b %d %H:%M:%S
TIME_EPOCH                     = 1980-01-01
TIME_IS_INTERVAL               = off
TIME_INTERVAL_FRACTION         = 0.5
TIME_LEAP_SECONDS              = false
TIME_REPORT                    = none
TIME_UNIT                      = s
TIME_WEEK_START                = Monday
TIME_Y2K_OFFSET_YEAR           = 1950

Thanks for any pointers.

GMT 6.4.0 in WSL2.

Maybe a10 should be in days and not seconds
