arrows(cmd0::String="", arg1=nothing; arrow=(...), kwargs...)

Plots an arrow field. When the keyword arrow=(...) or vector=(...) is used, the direction (in degrees counter-clockwise from horizontal) and length must be found in columns 3 and 4, and size, if not specified on the command-line, should be present in column 5. The size is the length of the vector head. Vector stem width is set by option pen or line_attrib.

The vecmap=(...) variation is similar to above except azimuth (in degrees east of north) should be given instead of direction. The azimuth will be mapped into an angle based on the chosen map projection. If length is not in plot units but in arbitrary user units (e.g., a rate in mm/yr) then you can use the input_col option to scale the corresponding column via the +sscale modifier.

The geovec=(...) or geovector=(...) keywords plot geovectors. In geovectors azimuth (in degrees east from north) and geographical length must be found in columns 3 and 4. The size is the length of the vector head. Vector width is set by pen or line_attrib. Note: Geovector stems are drawn as thin filled polygons and hence pen attributes like dashed and dotted are not available. For allowable geographical units, see the units=() option.

Read GMT object from file. The object is one of "grid" or "grd", "image" or "img", "data" or "table", "cmap" or "cpt" and "ps" (for postscript), and OGR formats (shp, kml, json). Use a type specificatin to force a certain reading path (e.g. grd=true to read grids) or take the chance of letting the data type be guessed via the file extension. Known extensions are: Grids: .grd Images: .jpg, .png, .tif, .bmp Datasets: .dat, .txt, .csv Datasets: .shp, .kml, .json CPT: .cpt PostScript: .ps, .eps

Parameters

Specify data type. Choose among:

• grd | grid :: [Type => Any]

  Load a grid.

• img | image :: [Type => Any]

  Load an image.

• cpt | cmap :: [Type => Any]

  Load a GMT color palette.

• data | dataset | table :: [Type => Any]

  Load a dataset (a table of numbers).

• ogr :: [Type => Any]

  Load a dataset via GDAL OGR (a table of numbers). Many things can happen here.

• ps :: [Type => Any]

  Load a PostScript file

• gdal :: [Type => Any]

  Force reading the file via GDAL. Should only be used to read grids.

• varname :: [Type => Str]

  When netCDF files have more than one 2D (or higher) variables use varname to pick the wished variable. e.g. varname=:slp to read the variable named 'slp'. This option defaults data type to 'grid'

• layer | band :: [Type => Str, Number, Array]

  When files are multiband or nc files with 3D or 4D arrays, we access them via these keywords. layer=4 reads the fourth layer (or band) of the file. But the file can be a grid or an image. If it is a grid layer can be a scalar (to read 3D arrays) or an array of two elements (to read a 4D array). If file is an image 'layer' can be a 1 or a 1x3 array (to read a RGB image). Not that in this later case bands do not need to be contiguous. A band=[0,5,2] composes an RGB out of those bands.

Example: to read a nc called 'lixo.grd'

G = gmtread("lixo.grd");

to read a jpg image with the bands reversed (this example is currently broken in GMT5. Needs GMT6dev)

I = gmtread("image.jpg", band=[2,1,0]);

I = imagealpha!(img::GMTimage; alphaind::Integer, alphavec::Integer, alphaband::UInt8)

Change the alpha transparency of the GMTimage object 'img'. If the image is indexed, one can either
change just the color index that will be made transparent by uing 'alpha_ind=n' or provide a vector
of transaparency values in the range [0 255]; This vector can be shorter than the orginal number of colors.
Use 'alpha_band' to change, or add, the alpha of true color images (RGB).

Example1: change to the third color in cmap to represent the new transparent color
    image_alpha(img, alpha_ind=3)

Example2: change to the first 6 colors in cmap by assigning them random values
    image_alpha(img, alpha_vec=round.(Int32,rand(6).*255))

imshow(arg1; kw...)

Is a simple front end to the grdimagegrdview programs that accepts GMTgrid, GMTimage, 2D array of floats or strings with file names of grids or images. The normal options of the grdimage and grdview programs also apply here but some clever guessing of suitable necessary parameters is done if they are not provided. Contrary to other image producing modules the "show' keyword is not necessary to display the image. Here it is set by default. If user wants to use imshow to create layers of a more complex fig he can use show=false for the intermediate layers.

This module uses some internal logic to decide whether use grdimge or grdview. Namely, when the view option is used grdview is choosed and a default vertical scale is assigned. However, sometimes we want a rotated plot, optionallt tilted, but not 3D view. In that case use the option flat=true, which forces the use of grdimage.

Examples

# Plot vertical shaded illuminated view of the Mexican hat
julia> G = gmt("grdmath -R-15/15/-15/15 -I0.3 X Y HYPOT DUP 2 MUL PI MUL 8 DIV COS EXCH NEG 10 DIV EXP MUL =");
julia> imshow(G, shade="+a45")

# Same as above but add automatic contours
julia> imshow(G, shade="+a45", contour=true)

# Plot a random heat map
julia> imshow(rand(128,128))

# Display a web downloaded jpeg image wrapped into a sinusoidal projection
julia> imshow("http://larryfire.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/untooned_jessicarabbit.jpg", region="d", frame="g", proj="I15", img_in="r", fmt=:jpg)

D = mat2ds(mat [,txt]; x=nothing, hdr=nothing, color=nothing, fill=nothing, ls=nothing, text=nothing, multi=false)

Take a 2D `mat` array and convert it into a GMTdataset. `x` is an optional coordinates vector (must have the
same number of elements as rows in `mat`). Use `x=:ny` to generate a coords array 1:n_rows of `mat`.
`hdr` optional String vector with either one or n_rows multisegment headers.
`color` optional array os strings with color names/values. Its length can be smaller than n_rows, case in
which colors will be cycled.
`linethick`, or `lt` for selecting different line thicknesses. Work alike `color`, but should be 
        a vector of numbers, or just a single number that is then appl	ied to all lines.
`fill`  Optional string array with color names or array of "patterns"
`ls`    Line style. A string or an array of strings with ``length = size(mat,1)`` with line styles.
`txt`   Return a Text record which is a Dataset with data = Mx2 and text in third column. The ``text``
        can be an array with same size as ``mat``rows or a string (will be reapeated n_rows times.) 
`multi` When number of columns in `mat` > 2, or == 2 and x != nothing, make an multisegment Dataset with
first column and 2, first and 3, etc. Convenient when want to plot a matrix where each column is a line.

G = mat2grid(mat; reg=nothing, x=nothing, y=nothing, hdr=nothing, proj4::String="", wkt::String="", tit::String="", rem::String="", cmd::String="")

Take a 2D `mat` array and a HDR 1x9 [xmin xmax ymin ymax zmin zmax reg xinc yinc] header descriptor
and return a grid GMTgrid type.
Alternatively to HDR, provide a pair of vectors, x & y, with the X and Y coordinates.
Optionaly, the HDR arg may be ommited and it will computed from `mat` alone, but then x=1:ncol, y=1:nrow
When HDR is not used, REG == nothing [default] means create a gridline registration grid and REG == 1,
or REG="pixel" a pixel registered grid.

Other methods of this function do:

G = mat2grid([val]; hdr=hdr_vec, reg=nothing, proj4::String="", wkt::String="", tit::String="", rem::String="")

Create Float GMTgrid with size, coordinates and increment determined by the contents of the HDR var. This
array, which is now MANDATORY, has either the same meaning as above OR, alternatively, containng only
[xmin xmax ymin ymax xinc yinc]
VAL is the value that will be fill the matrix (default VAL = Float32(0)). To get a Float64 array use, for
example, VAL = 1.0 Ay other non Float64 will be converted to Float32
Example: mat2grid(1, hdr=[0. 5 0 5 1 1])

G = mat2grid(f::Function, x, y; reg=nothing, proj4::String="", wkt::String="", epsg::Int=0, tit::String="", rem::String="")

Whre F is a function and X,Y the vectors coordinates defining it's domain. Creates a Float32 GMTgrid with
size determined by the sizes of the X & Y vectors.
Example: f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2;  G = mat2grid(f, x = -2:0.05:2, y = -2:0.05:2)

G = mat2grid(f::String, x=nothing, y=nothing) Whre F is a pre-set function name. Currently available: "ackley", "eggbox", "sombrero", "parabola" and "rosenbrock" X,Y are vectors coordinates defining the function's domain, but default values are provided for each function. creates a Float32 GMTgrid. Example: G = mat2grid("sombrero")

I = mat2img(mat::Array{<:Unsigned}; x=nothing, y=nothing, hdr=nothing, proj4::String="", wkt::String="", cmap=nothing, kw...)

Take a 2D 'mat' array and a HDR 1x9 [xmin xmax ymin ymax zmin zmax reg xinc yinc] header descriptor
and return a GMTimage type.
Alternatively to HDR, provide a pair of vectors, x & y, with the X and Y coordinates.
Optionaly, the HDR arg may be ommited and it will computed from 'mat' alone, but then x=1:ncol, y=1:nrow
When 'mat' is a 3D UInt16 array we automatically compute a UInt8 RGB image. In that case 'cmap' is ignored.
But if no conversion is wanted use option 'noconv=true'

I = mat2img(mat::Array{UInt16}; x=nothing, y=nothing, hdr=nothing, proj4::String="", wkt::String="", kw...)

Take a 'mat' array of UInt16 and scale it down to UInt8. Input can be 2D or 3D.
If the kw variable 'stretch' is used, we stretch the intervals in 'stretch' to [0 255].
Use this option to stretch the image histogram.
If 'stretch' is a scalar, scale the values > 'stretch' to [0 255]
stretch = [v1 v2] scales all values >= v1 && <= v2 to [0 255]
stretch = [v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6] scales firts band >= v1 && <= v2 to [0 255], second >= v3 && <= v4, same for third
stretch = :auto | "auto" | true | 1 will do an automatic stretching from values obtained from histogram thresholds

nearneighbor(cmd0::String="", arg1=nothing; kwargs...)

Reads arbitrarily located (x,y,z[,w]) triples [quadruplets] and uses a nearest neighbor algorithm to assign an average value to each node that have one or more points within a radius centered on the node. The average value is computed as a weighted mean of the nearest point from each sector inside the search radius. The weighting function used is w(r) = 1 / (1 + d ^ 2), where d = 3 * r / search_radius and r is distance from the node. This weight is modulated by the weights of the observation points [if supplied].
