NAME

grd2xyz - Converting a grdfile to an ASCII or binary table  

SYNOPSIS

grd2xyz grdfile [ -Z ] [ -b[d] ]  

DESCRIPTION

grd2xyz reads a binary 2-D grdfile and writes out xyz-triplets in ASCII [or binary] format to standard output. The ASCII file can be edited using any text editor. You can modify the precision of the ASCII output format by editing the D_FORMAT parameter in your .gmtdefaults file, or you may choose binary output using single or double precision storage. As an option you may output the z-values without the (x,y) pair assuming scanline orientation.
grdfile
The 2-D binary file to be converted.
 

OPTIONS

-Z
Only write a 1-column ASCII [or binary] table using the scanline ordering convention.
-b
Selects binary output mode [Default is ASCII]. Append d for double precision [Default is single].
 

EXAMPLES

To edit individual values in the 5' by 5' hawaii_grv.grd file, try

grd2xyz hawaii_grv.grd > hawaii_grv.xyz

To write a single precision binary file without the x,y positions from the file raw_data.grd file, try

grd2xyz raw_data.grd -Z -b > hawaii_grv.b
