cptclip - Man Page
extract a sub-table from a GMT colour palette table (cpt).
Synopsis
Description
The cptclip utility extracts a sub-table from a cpt format file. The arguments to the mandatory -R option, min/max, are interpreted as the (z) limits of the output unless the -s switch is specified, in which case they are the segment numbers.
The program will read from stdin if a file is not specified as the final argument, and write to stdout if the -o option is not specified.
Note that much of the functionality of this program is included in recent versions of the GMT program makecpt(1).
Options
- --backtrace-file path
Specify a file to which to write a formatted backtrace. The file will only be created if there is a backtrace created, typically when an error occurs.
- --backtrace-format format
Specify the format of the backtrace written to the files specified by --backtrace-file, one of plain, xml or json.
- -h, --help
Brief help.
- -o, --output file
Write the output to file, rather than stdout.
- -R, --range min/max
The (z) range of the output, or the segments if the -s switch is also given.
- -s, --segments
The min and max arguments of the -R switch are interpreted as the segment numbers (starting at one).
- -v, --verbose
Verbose operation.
- -V, --version
Version information.
Examples
Extract the table with z-range from 2.5 to 5:
cptclip -v -o new.cpt -R 2.5/5 old.cpt
Extract the table with the first 5 segments:
cptclip -v -s -o new.cpt -R 1/5 old.cpt
