NAME

     gmtset - To change individual GMT default parameters

SYNOPSIS

     gmtset PARAMETER1 value1 PARAMETER2 value2 PARAMETER3 value3
     ...

DESCRIPTION

     gmtset will adjust individual GMT defaults settings  in  the
     current  directory's  .gmtdefaults  file.   If  no such file
     exists one will be created.  The main purpose of  gmtset  is
     to   temporarily   change   certain   parameters   inside  a
     shellscript, e.g., set the dots-per-inch  to  600,  run  the
     script, and reset to 300 dpi.

     PARAMETER value
          Provide one or several pairs of parameter/value  combi-
          nations  that you want to modify.  For a complete list-
          ing of available parameters and their meaning, see  the
          gmtdefaults man page.

EXAMPLES

     To change the dpi to 600, set anotation font  to  Helvetica,
     and select a 14 point fontsize, try

          gmtset    DOTS_PR_INCH    600    ANOT_FONT    Helvetica
     ANOT_FONT_SIZE 14
