For your example, and many variations, including the small example above, GMT is producing incorrect PostScript. For some variations of your example using a certain version of gs, it might display as you expect, but the PostScript is still incorrect. If you look at the PostScript output from the above expample you will see a few "near MAX_INTs" in the output (search for 21474). These are incorrect. The authors of GMT are now aware of the problem and are working on a patch. John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
