HREF="footnode.html#foot17274"><SUP>4.9</SUP></A> and (0,0) for overlays (<B>-O</B>)).
By default, all translations are relative to the previous origin
(see Figure <A HREF="#fig:GMT_-XY">4.21</A>). Supply offset as <B>c</B> to center the
plot in that direction relative to the page margin.
Absolute translations (i.e., relative to a fixed point (0,0) at the
lower left corner of the paper) can be achieve by prepending ``a''
to the offsets. Subsequent overlays will be co-registered with the
previous plot unless the origin is shifted using these options.
The offsets are measured in the current coordinates system (which can
be rotated using the initial <B>-P</B> option; subsequent <B>-P</B> options
for overlays are ignored).
