NAME

cptclip - extract a sub-table from a GMT colour palette table (cpt).

SYNOPSIS

cptclip -R min/max [-h] [-o file] [-s] [-v] [-V] [file]

DESCRIPTION

The cptclip utility extracts a sub-table from a cpt format file. The arguments to the mandatory -R option, min/max, are interpreted as the (z) limits of the output unless the -s switch is specified, in which case they are the segment numbers.

The program will read from stdin if a file is not specified as the final argument, and write to stdout if the -o option is not specified.

Note that much of the functionality of this program is included in recent versions of the GMT program makecpt(1).

OPTIONS

--backtrace-file path

Specify a file to which to write a formatted backtrace. The file will only be created if there is a backtrace created, typically when an error occurs.

--backtrace-format format

Specify the format of the backtrace written to the files specified by --backtrace-file, one of plain, xml or json.

-h, --help

Brief help.

-o, --output file

Write the output to file, rather than stdout.

-R, --range min/max

The (z) range of the output, or the segments if the -s switch is also given.

-s, --segments

The min and max arguments of the -R switch are interpreted as the segment numbers (starting at one).

-v, --verbose

Verbose operation.

-V, --version

Version information.

EXAMPLES

Extract the table with z-range from 2.5 to 5:

cptclip -v -o new.cpt -R 2.5/5 old.cpt

Extract the table with the first 5 segments:

cptclip -v -s -o new.cpt -R 1/5 old.cpt
