1.2.2 Job Control

GMT programs may get operational parameters from several places:

  1. Supplied command line options/switches or program defaults.

  2. Short-hand notation to select previously used option arguments (stored in .gmtcommands4).

  3. Implicitly using GMT defaults for a variety of parameters (stored in .gmtdefaults4).

  4. May use hidden support data like coastlines or PostScript patterns.
