<h2>NAME</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">gmtset −
To change individual <b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> default parameters</p>
<a name="SYNOPSIS"></a>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>gmtset</b> [
<b>−G</b><i>defaultsfile</i> ] PARAMETER1 [=]
<i>value1</i> PARAMETER2 [=] <i>value2</i> PARAMETER3 [=]
<i>value3</i> ...</p>
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>gmtset</b>
will adjust individual <b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> defaults settings in the
current directory’s .gmtdefaults4 file. If no such
file exists one will be created. The main purpose of
<b>gmtset</b> is temporarily to change certain parameters
inside a shell script, e.g., set the dots-per-inch to 600,
run the script, and reset to 300 dpi. Optionally, you can
specify one or more temporary changes directly on any
<b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> command line with the syntax
<b>−−PARAMETER</b>=<i>value</i>; such changes
are only in effect for that command and do not permanently
change the default settings on disk. <br>
PARAMETER <i>value</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">Provide one or several pairs of
parameter/value combinations that you want to modify. For a
complete listing of available parameters and their meaning,
see the <b><A HREF="gmtdefaults.html">gmtdefaults</A></b> man page.</p>
