<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>



<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>mgd77track</b>
reads NGDC MGD77 cruises and creates <i>PostScript</i> code
that will plot one or more ship tracks on a map using the
specified projection. The <i>PostScript</i> code is written
to standard output. <i><br>
NGDC-ids</i></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;">Can be one or more of five
kinds of specifiers: <br>
1) 8-character NGDC IDs, e.g., 01010083, JA010010etc., etc.
<br>
2) 2-character &lt;agency&gt; codes which will return all
cruises from each agency. <br>
3) 4-character &lt;agency&gt;&lt;vessel&gt; codes, which
will return all cruises from those vessels. <br>
4) =&lt;list&gt;, where &lt;list&gt; is a table with NGDC
IDs, one per line. <br>
5) If nothing is specified we return all cruises in the data
base. <br>
(See mgd77info <b>&minus;L</b> for agency and vessel codes).
The &quot;.mgd77&quot; or &quot;.nc&quot; extensions will
automatically be appended, if needed (use <b>&minus;I</b> to
ignore certain file types). Cruise files will be looked for
first in the current directory and second in all directories
listed in <b>$MGD77_HOME</b>/mgd77_paths.txt [If
<b>$MGD77_HOME</b> is not set it will default to
<b>$GMT_SHAREDIR</b>/mgd77].</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em" valign="top">Selects the map
projection. Scale is UNIT/degree, 1:xxxxx, or width in UNIT
(upper case modifier). UNIT is cm, inch, or m, depending on
the <b><A HREF="gmtdefaults.html#MEASURE_UNIT">MEASURE_UNIT</A></b> setting in .gmtdefaults4, but this
can be overridden on the command line by appending <b>c</b>,
<b>i</b>, or <b>m</b> to the scale/width value. When central
meridian is optional, default is center of longitude range
on <b>&minus;R</b> option. Default standard parallel is the
equator. For map height, max dimension, or min dimension,
append <b>h</b>, <b>+</b>, or <b>-</b> to the width,
respectively.</p> </td>
