<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>pswiggle</b>
reads (<i>x</i>,<i>y</i>,<i>z</i>) triplets from files [or
standard input] and plots z as a function of distance along
track. This means that two consecutive (<i>x</i>,<i>y</i>)
points define the local distance axis, and the local
<i>z</i> axis is then perpendicular to the distance axis.
The user may set a preferred positive anomaly plot
direction, and if the positive normal is outside the
plus/minus 90 degree window around the preferred direction,
then 180 degrees are added to the direction. Either the
positive or the negative wiggle may be shaded. The resulting
<i>PostScript</i> code is written to standard output.</p>

(1-90) <i>or</i> the name of a Sun 1-, 8-, or 24-bit raster
file. The <i>dpi</i> sets the resolution of the image. For
1-bit rasters: use <b>P</b><i>dpi/pattern</i> for inverse
video, or append
<b>:F</b><i>color</i>[<b>B</b>[<i>color</i>]] to specify
fore- and background colors (use <i>color</i> = - for
transparency). See <b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> Cookbook & Technical

shade (in the range 0−255); by a decimal color code

<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">To plot the
magnetic anomaly stored in the file track.xym along track @
1000 nTesla/cm (after removing a mean value of 32000
nTesla), using a 15-cm-wide Polar Stereographic map ticked
every 5 degrees in Portrait mode, with positive anomalies in
red on a blue track of width 0.25 points, use</p>

<h2>BUGS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Sometimes the
(x,y) coordinates are not printed with enough significant
digits, so the local perpendicular to the track swings
around a lot. To see if this is the problem, you should do
this:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">awk ’{ if
(NR > 1) print atan2(y-$1, x-$2); y=$1; x=$2; }’
yourdata.xyz | more</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">(note that
output is in radians; on some machines you need
"nawk" to do this). Then if these numbers jump
around a lot, you may do this:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">awk ’{
print NR, $0 }’ yourdata.xyz | <b>filter1d
−Fb</b>5 <b>−N</b>4/0
<b>−−D_FORMAT</b>=<i>value</i> >
smoothed.xyz</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">and plot this
data set instead.</p>
