1.1.11 Overview of </A><A NAME="tex2html661"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> 4.1.3 [June-1, 2006]
</H2>

<P>
Changes in <A NAME="tex2html662"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> 4.1.3 are relatively minor and predominantly bug fixes.  However, a few enhancements
have been made to overcome limitations in the previous versions:

<P>

<OL>
<LI>Added the Hughes 1980 ellipsoid for projection support for DMSP SSM/I grid products.
</LI>
<LI><A NAME="tex2html663"
  HREF="../man/grdfft.html"><I><B>grdfft</B></I></A><A NAME="5713"></A> has an extended <B>-F</B> option to allow for either Gaussian- or
cosine-tapered filtering.
</LI>
<LI><A NAME="tex2html664"
  HREF="../man/psscale.html"><I><B>psscale</B></I></A><A NAME="5719"></A> now has a <B>-Q</B> option so that logarithmic color scales and annotations
can be handled properly.
</LI>
<LI><A NAME="tex2html665"
  HREF="../man/makecpt.html"><I><B>makecpt</B></I></A><A NAME="5725"></A> and <A NAME="tex2html666"
  HREF="../man/grd2cpt.html"><I><B>grd2cpt</B></I></A><A NAME="5730"></A> have a new <B>-M</B> option to allow the background, foreground, and
NaN-colors to be assigned using the <A NAME="tex2html667"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> defaults instead of the settings in the master CPT file. 
</LI>
<LI><A NAME="tex2html668"
  HREF="../man/mgd77list.html"><I><B>mgd77list</B></I></A><A NAME="5739"></A> in the <I>mgd77</I><A NAME="5743"></A> supplement has new option <B>-Q</B> to specify limits on
speed and azimuths for output records.
</LI>
</OL>

<P>
Below is a list of previous problems (some accidentily introduced in <A NAME="tex2html669"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> 4.1.2)
that we have identified and corrected in the current release:

<P>
<DL>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html670"
  HREF="../man/gmt_grdio.c.html"><I><B>gmt_grdio.c</B></I></A><A NAME="5751"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: Bug in <TT>GMT_grd_shift</TT> for gridline-registered grids; this function is used in
<A NAME="tex2html671"
  HREF="../man/grdedit.html"><I><B>grdedit</B></I></A><A NAME="5757"></A> to rotate grids of 360-degree longitudinal extent. Also added better testing for subsets of global (0-360) grids.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html672"
  HREF="../man/gmt_init.c.html"><I><B>gmt_init.c</B></I></A><A NAME="5762"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: <TT>GMT_PS_init</TT> was called after -PAR=val had been decoded, resetting
the <I>PostScript</I>-related parameters to their default settings.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html673"
  HREF="../man/gmt_support.c.html"><I><B>gmt_support.c</B></I></A><A NAME="5769"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: <TT>GMT_set_xy_domain</TT> padded region for pixel instead of gridline node registration,
which could cause SEGV in <A NAME="tex2html674"
  HREF="../man/xyz2grd.html"><I><B>xyz2grd</B></I></A><A NAME="5775"></A> if (<I>x,y</I>) was less than half the grid-spacing outside region.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html675"
  HREF="../man/blockmean.html"><I><B>blockmean</B></I></A><A NAME="5780"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: The <B>-C</B> option got reversed in 4.1.2 - now fixed.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html676"
  HREF="../man/blockmedian.html"><I><B>blockmedian</B></I></A><A NAME="5786"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: The <B>-C</B> option got reversed in 4.1.2 - now fixed.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html677"
  HREF="../man/grdcontour.html"><I><B>grdcontour</B></I></A><A NAME="5792"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: The <B>-C</B> option with a non-cpt file failed to read due to lack of proper if-test.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html678"
  HREF="../man/grdedit.html"><I><B>grdedit</B></I></A><A NAME="5798"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: The <B>-S</B> option was backwards and tested <I>w-e</I>=360; should be <I>e-w</I>=360.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html679"
  HREF="../man/grdimage.html"><I><B>grdimage</B></I></A><A NAME="5804"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: Fixed bug introduced by <TT>GMT_get_inc</TT> in 4.1.2. Internal projected
grid never took node_offset from input grid.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html680"
  HREF="../man/grdmask.html"><I><B>grdmask</B></I></A><A NAME="5810"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: Polygons with zig-zag shape would sometimes cause a node exactly
on a polygon vertex to be considered inside. Radius was reset to 0 after <B>-S</B><I>radius</I> was assigned.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html681"
  HREF="../man/grdvector.html"><I><B>grdvector</B></I></A><A NAME="5816"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: The <B>-A</B> option was not properly initiated.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html682"
  HREF="../man/psbasemap.html"><I><B>psbasemap</B></I></A><A NAME="5822"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: The <B>-L</B> option did not properly parse the optional :label:&lt;just&gt; part.
</DD>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="tex2html683"
  HREF="../man/pslegend.html"><I><B>pslegend</B></I></A><A NAME="5828"></A></STRONG></DT>
<DD>: If the <B>M</B> (for map scale) was used, the <B>-R</B> and <B>-J</B> options would be reset.
Also prevented the undoing of <B>-X</B> and <B>-Y</B> at the end of the program.
