<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>psmask</b>
reads a (<i>x</i>,<i>y</i>,<i>z</i>) file [or standard
input] and uses this information to find out which grid
cells are reliable. Only gridcells which have one or more
data points are considered reliable. As an option, you may
specify a radius of influence. Then, all gridcells that are
within <i>radius</i> of a data point are considered
reliable. Furthermore, an option is provided to reverse the
sense of the test. Having found the reliable/not reliable
points, <b>psmask</b> will either paint tiles to mask these
nodes (with the <b>&minus;T</b> switch), or use contouring
to create polygons that will clip out regions of no
interest. When clipping is initiated, it will stay in effect
until turned off by a second call to <b>psmask</b> using the
<b>&minus;C</b> option. <i><br>
xyzfile</i></p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;">File with
(<i>x</i>,<i>y</i>,<i>z</i>) values (e.g., that was used to
run <b><A HREF="surface.html">surface</A></b>). If no file is given, standard input is
read. For binary files, see <b>&minus;b</b>.</p>

<td width="8%"></td>
<td width="78%">


<p style="margin-top: 1em" valign="top"><i>x_inc</i> [and
optionally <i>y_inc</i>] is the grid spacing. Optionally,
append a suffix modifier. <b>Geographical (degrees)
coordinates</b>: Append <b>m</b> to indicate arc minutes or
<b>c</b> to indicate arc seconds. If one of the units
<b>e</b>, <b>k</b>, <b>i</b>, or <b>n</b> is appended
instead, the increment is assumed to be given in meter, km,
miles, or nautical miles, respectively, and will be
converted to the equivalent degrees longitude at the middle
latitude of the region (the conversion depends on
<b><A HREF="gmtdefaults.html#ELLIPSOID">ELLIPSOID</A></b>). If /<i>y_inc</i> is given but set to 0 it
will be reset equal to <i>x_inc</i>; otherwise it will be
converted to degrees latitude. <b>All coordinates</b>: If
<b>=</b> is appended then the corresponding max <i>x</i>
(<i>east</i>) or <i>y</i> (<i>north</i>) may be slightly
adjusted to fit exactly the given increment [by default the
increment may be adjusted slightly to fit the given domain].
Finally, instead of giving an increment you may specify the
<i>number of nodes</i> desired by appending <b>+</b> to the
supplied integer argument; the increment is then
recalculated from the number of nodes and the domain. The
resulting increment value depends on whether you have
selected a gridline-registered or pixel-registered grid; see
Appendix B for details. Note: if
<b>&minus;R</b><i>grdfile</i> is used then grid spacing has
already been initialized; use <b>&minus;I</b> to override
the values.</p></td>

<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>
