<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>img2mercgrd</b>
reads an img format file and creates a grid file. The
Spherical Mercator projection of the img file is preserved,
so that the region <b>−R</b> set by the user is
modified slightly; the modified region corresponds to the
edges of pixels [or groups of <i>navg</i> pixels]. The grid
file header is set so that the x and y axis lengths
represent distance from the west and south edges of the
image, measured in user default units, with <b>−Jm</b>
1 and the adjusted <b>−R</b>. By setting the default
<b><A HREF="gmtdefaults.html#ELLIPSOID">ELLIPSOID</A></b> = Sphere, the user can make overlays with
the adjusted <b>−R</b> so that they match. See
<b>EXAMPLES</b> below. The adjusted <b>−R</b> is also
written in the grdheader remark, so it can be found later.
The <b>−T</b><i>type</i> selects all data or only data
at constrained pixels, and can be used to create a grid of
1s and 0s indicating constraint locations. The output grid
file is pixel registered; it inherits this from the img
file. <i><br>
imgfile</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">An img format file such as the
marine gravity or seafloor topography fields estimated from
satellite altimeter data by Sandwell and Smith. If the user
has set an environment variable <b>$GMT_IMGDIR</b>, then
<b>img2mercgrd</b> will try to find <i>imgfile</i> in
<b>$GMT_IMGDIR</b>; else it will try to open <i>imgfile</i>
directly.</p>

more recent files do not support this choice) and gets all
data. <i>type</i> > 0 indicates that constraint
information is encoded (1995 and later (current) versions of
the img files) so that one may produce a grid file as
follows: <b>−T</b><i>1</i> gets data values at all
points, <b>−T</b><i>2</i> gets data values at
constrained points and NaN at interpolated points;
<b>−T</b><i>3</i> gets 1 at constrained points and 0
at interpolated points.</p></td>

<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">To extract data
in the region <b>−R</b>-40/40/-70/-30 from

<b>−V</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note that the
<b>−V</b> option tells us that the range was adjusted
to <b>−R</b>-40/40/-70.0004681551/-29.9945810754. We
can also use <b><A HREF="grdinfo.html">grdinfo</A></b> to find that the grid file
header shows its region to be <b>−R</b>
0/80/0/67.9666667 This is the range of x,y we will get from
a Spherical Mercator projection using
<b>−R</b>-40/40/-70.0004681551/-29.9945810754 and
<b>−Jm</b> 1. Thus, to take ship.lonlatgrav and use it
to sample the merc_grav.grd, we can do this:</p>

ship.lonlatgravsat</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">It is
recommended to use the above method of projecting and
unprojecting the data in such an application, because then
there is only one interpolation step (in <b><A HREF="grdtrack.html">grdtrack</A></b>).
If one first tries to convert the grid file to lon,lat and
then sample it, there are two interpolation steps (in
conversion and in sampling).</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">To make a
lon,lat grid from the above grid we can use</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b><A HREF="grdproject.html">grdproject</A></b>

<b>−G</b> grav.grd</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">In some cases
this will not be easy as the <b>−R</b> in the two
coordinate systems may not align well. When this happens, we
can also use (in fact, it may be always better to use)</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">To make a
Mercator map of the above region, suppose our .gmtdefaults4
<b><A HREF="gmtdefaults.html#MEASURE_UNIT">MEASURE_UNIT</A></b> is inch. Then since the above
merc_grav.grd file is projected with <b>−Jm</b> 1 it
is 80 inches wide. We can make a map 8 inches wide by using
<b>−Jx</b> 0.1 on any map programs applied to this
grid (e.g., <b><A HREF="grdcontour.html">grdcontour</A></b>, <b><A HREF="grdimage.html">grdimage</A></b>,
<b><A HREF="grdview.html">grdview</A></b>), and then for overlays which work in lon,lat
(e.g., <b><A HREF="psxy.html">psxy</A></b>, <b><A HREF="pscoast.html">pscoast</A></b>) we can use the above
adjusted <b>−R</b> and <b>−Jm</b> 0.1 to get the
two systems to match up.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">However, we can
be smarter than this. Realizing that the input img file had
pixels 2.0 minutes wide (or checking the nx and ny with
grdinfo merc_grav.grd) we realize that merc_grav.grd used
the full resolution of the img file and it has 2400 by 2039
pixels, and at 8 inches wide this is 300 pixels per inch. We
decide we don’t need that many and we will be
satisfied with 100 pixels per inch, so we want to average
the data into 3 by 3 squares. (If we want a contour plot we
will probably choose to average the data much more (e.g., 6
by 6) to get smooth contours.) Since 2039 isn’t
divisible by 3 we will get a different adjusted OPT(R) this
time:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>img2mercgrd</b>
world_grav.img.7.2 <b>−G</b> merc_grav_2.grd
<b>−R</b>-40/40/-70/-30 <b>−T</b> 1
<b>−N</b> 3 <b>−V</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">This time we
find the adjusted region is
<b>−R</b>-40/40/-70.023256525/-29.9368261101 and the
output is 800 by 601 pixels, a better size for us. Now we
can create an artificial illumination file for this using
<b><A HREF="grdgradient.html">grdgradient</A></b>:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b><A HREF="grdgradient.html">grdgradient</A></b>

0/270 <b>−N</b> e0.6</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">and if we also
have a cpt file called "grav.cpt" we can create a
color shaded relief map like this:</p>

>> map.ps</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Suppose you
want to obtain only the constrained data values from an img
file, in lat/lon coordinates. Then run <b>img2mercgrd</b>
with the <b>−T</b> 2 option, use <b><A HREF="grd2xyz.html">grd2xyz</A></b> to
dump the values, pipe through grep -v NaN to eliminate NaNs,
and pipe through <b><A HREF="mapproject.html">mapproject</A></b> with the inverse
