how to use new text style in pstext?

[Mikhail Tchernychev]

Hi,

I am lost. I am trying to adjust pstext calls to the new 5.1.1 style but it seems
it does not understand it at all.

Here is the script:

#/usr/bin/bash
output=test.ps
gmt pstext -R-10/10/-10/10  -Jx1 <<END > $output
0 3  18p,Helvetica  45   LB  Old targets
END


It supposed to draw text at (0,3) with 18p Helvetica font
at 45 degrees, but it draws string "8p,Helvetica  45   LB  Old targets"
instead.

How pstext recognizes new format?

It supposed to be


 x, y[, font, angle, justify], text

But it does not work no matter what.

Old format works, but gives warning messages.

 
Best Regards,

Mikhail Tchernychev

Hi Mikhail,

You must to include option -F+f+a+j
Try:
gmt pstext -F+f+a+j -R-10/10/-10/10 -Jx1 <<END > $output

0 3 18p,Helvetica 45 LB Old targets
END

Regards,

Marcelo

PS: sending again, including gmt list.
