NAME xm_points - Points format for the xmap8 program SYNOPSIS xm_points - Input File Format DESCRIPTION This is for providing plotting of points where the control of the symbol, label size and fonts as desired. This facil- ity is useful if you have cities, highways, volcanos or other point objects that need to be identified, but that are not conveniently plotted as earthquakes. You can get point files loaded by using the -p point_file option FORMAT Files are free format with this input: name lat lon depth color symbol symcode symsize strcode font_size just where, name = alpha numeric label, up to 200 characters, uses underscore '_' for spaces lat = latitude, positive north lon = longitude, positive east depth = depth in km, positive down! color = color index drawn from the standard xmap8 palatte (see manpage xm_color) symbol = symbol code: one of 0 = draw_triang = upside down triangle 1 = draw_triang_2 = right side up triangle 2 = draw_square = square 3 = draw_star_david = star of david 4 = draw_ex = X mark 5 = draw_Plus = + mark 6 = draw_Diamond = diamond 7 = draw_Circle= empty circle 8 = draw_Fill_Circle = filled circle 9 = draw_asterix = asterix symcode = 0->off 1->plot symbol symsize = size of symbol in pixels strcode = plotting label 0->off 1->plot symbol font_size = font size in points(72=inch), for the screen there are only 2 sizes (>12 or <12) for the postscript though, this will be the true size in points just = 0 ->left justify 1 -> centered 2 -> right justify Example file: Mt._Rainier 46.85 -121.76666 -3.9 1 3 1 25 1 14 1 Mt._St._Helens 46.18333 -122.18333 -2.0 1 3 1 25 1 14 1 Lake_Washington 47.619713 -122.237053 5.0 1 1 1 10 1 13 0 Test1 48.216595 -122.278008 0 1 4 0 10 1 11 1 Test2 46.689793 -123.019196 7.0 1 5 1 4 1 11 2 SEE ALSO xmap8 xm_color xm_hypo xm_map xm_menu xm_origin xm_points xm_raster xm_station xm_well xm_wire xm_xsec xm_ellipse
