Arbitrarily complicated expressions may therefore be evaluated; the final result is written to an output grid file. Grid operations are element-by-element, not matrix manipulations. Some operators only require one operand (see below). If no grid files are used in the expression then options |-R|, |-I| must be set (and optionally |SYN_OPT-r|). The expression **=** *outgrid* can occur as many times as the depth of the stack allows in order to save intermediate results. Complicated or frequently occurring expressions may be coded as a macro for future use or stored and recalled via named memory locations. .. include:: RPN_info.rst_ Required Arguments ------------------ *operand* If *operand* can be opened as a file it will be read as a grid file. If not a file, it is interpreted as a numerical constant or a special symbol (see below). *outgrid* The name of a 2-D grid file that will hold the final result. (See :ref:`Grid File Formats `). Optional Arguments ------------------ .. _-A: .. |Add_-A| replace:: (|-A| is only relevant to the **LDISTG** operator) .. include:: explain_-A.rst_ .. _-C: **-C**\ [*cpt*] Retain the grid's default CPT (if it has one), or alternatively replace it with a new default *cpt* [Default removes any default CPT from the output grid]. .. _-D: **-D**\ *resolution*\ [**+f**] Selects the resolution of the data set to use with the operator **LDISTG** ((**f**)ull, (**h**)igh, (**i**)ntermediate, (**l**)ow, and (**c**)rude). The resolution drops off by 80% between data sets [Default is **l**]. Append **+f** to automatically select a lower resolution should the one requested not be available [abort if not found]. .. _-I: .. include:: explain_-I.rst_ .. _-M: **-M** By default any derivatives calculated are in z_units/x(or y)\_units. However, the user may choose this option to convert dx,dy in degrees of longitude,latitude into meters using a flat Earth approximation, so that gradients are in z_units/meter. .. _-N: **-N** Turn off strict domain match checking when multiple grids are manipulated [Default will insist that each grid domain is within :math:`10^{-4}` times the grid spacing of the domain of the first grid listed]. .. |Add_-R| replace:: |Add_-R_links| .. include:: explain_-R.rst_ :start-after: **Syntax** :end-before: **Description** .. _-S: **-S** Reduce (i.e., collapse) the entire stack to a single grid by applying the next operator to all co-registered nodes across the entire stack.

For Cartesian grids the operators **MEAN**, **MEDIAN**, **MODE**, **LMSSCL**, **MAD**, **PQUANT**, **RMS**, **STD**, and **VAR** return the expected value from the given matrix. However, for geographic grids we perform a spherically weighted calculation where each node value is weighted by the geographic area represented by that node. #. The operator **SDIST** calculates spherical distances in km between the (*lon, lat*) point on the stack and all node positions in the grid. The grid domain and the (*lon, lat*) point are expected to be in degrees. Similarly, the **SAZ** and **SBAZ** operators calculate spherical azimuth and back-azimuths in degrees, respectively. The operators **LDIST** and **PDIST** compute spherical distances in km if **-fg** is set or implied, else they return Cartesian distances. **Note**: If the current :term:`PROJ_ELLIPSOID` is ellipsoidal then geodesics are used in calculations of distances, which can be slow. You can trade speed with accuracy by changing the algorithm used to compute the geodesic (see :ref:`PROJ_GEODESIC `). The operator **LDISTG** is a version of **LDIST** that operates on the GSHHG data. Instead of reading an ASCII file, it directly accesses one of the GSHHG data sets as determined by the |-D| and |-A| options. #. The operator **POINT** reads a ASCII table, computes the mean x and mean y values and places these on the stack. If geographic data then we use the mean 3-D vector to determine the mean location. #. The operator **PLM** calculates the associated Legendre polynomial of degree *L* and order *M* (:math:`0 \leq M \leq L)`, and its argument is the sine of the latitude. **PLM** is not normalized and includes the Condon-Shortley phase :math:`(-1)^M`. **PLMg** is normalized in the way that is most commonly used in geophysics. The Condon-Shortley phase can be added by using *-M* as argument. **PLM** will overflow at higher degrees, whereas **PLMg** is stable until ultra high degrees (at least 3000). #. The operators **YLM** and **YLMg** calculate normalized spherical harmonics for degree *L* and order *M* (:math:`0 \leq M \leq L)` for all positions in the grid, which is assumed to be in degrees. **YLM** and **YLMg** return two grids, the real (cosine) and imaginary (sine) component of the complex spherical harmonic. Use the **POP** operator (and **EXCH**) to get rid of one of them, or save both by giving two consecutive = file.nc calls. The orthonormalized complex harmonics **YLM** are most commonly used in physics and seismology. The square of **YLM** integrates to 1 over a sphere. In geophysics, **YLMg** is normalized to produce unit power when averaging the cosine and sine terms (separately!) over a sphere (i.e., their squares each integrate to :math:`4 \pi`). The Condon-Shortley phase :math:`(-1)^M` is not included in **YLM** or **YLMg**, but it can be added by using *-M* as argument. #. All the derivatives are based on central finite differences, with natural boundary conditions, and are Cartesian derivatives. #. Files that have the same names as some operators, e.g., **ADD**, **SIGN**, **=**, etc. should be identified by prepending the current directory (i.e., ./LOG). #. Piping of files is not allowed. #. The stack depth limit is hard-wired to 100. #. All functions expecting a positive radius (e.g., **LOG**, **KEI**, etc.) are passed the absolute value of their argument. (9) The bitwise operators (**BITAND**, **BITLEFT**, **BITNOT**, **BITOR**, **BITRIGHT**, **BITTEST**, and **BITXOR**) convert a grid's single precision values to unsigned 32-bit ints to perform the bitwise operations. Consequently, the largest whole integer value that can be stored in a float grid is 2^24 or 16,777,216. Any higher result will be masked to fit in the lower 24 bits. Thus, bit operations are effectively limited to 24 bit. All bitwise operators return NaN if given NaN arguments or bit-settings <= 0. #. When OpenMP support is compiled in, a few operators will take advantage of the ability to spread the load onto several cores. At present, the list of such operators is: **LDIST**, **LDIST2**, **PDIST**, **PDIST2**, **SAZ**, **SBAZ**, **SDIST**, **YLM**, and **grd_YLMg**. #. Operators **DEG2KM** and **KM2DEG** are only exact when a spherical Earth is selected with :term:`PROJ_ELLIPSOID`. #. Operator **DOT** normalizes 2-D vectors before the dot-product takes place. For 3-D vector they are all unit vectors to begin with. #. The color-triplet conversion functions (**RGB2HSV**, etc.) includes not only *r,g,b* and *h,s,v* triplet conversions, but also *l,a,b* (CIE L a b ) and sRGB (*x,y,z*) conversions between all four color spaces. #. The **DAYNIGHT** operator returns a grid with ones on the side facing the given sun location at (A,B). If the transition width (C) is zero then we get either 1 or 0, but if C is nonzero then we approximate the step function using an atan-approximation instead. Thus, the values are never exactly 0 or 1, but close, and the smaller C the closer we get. #. The **VPDF** operator expects angles in degrees. #. The **CUMSUM** operator normally resets the accumulated sums at the end of a row or column. Use ±3 or ±4 to have the accumulated sums continue with the start of the next row or column. .. include:: explain_float.rst_ .. include:: explain_grd_coord.rst_ .. include:: explain_sto_rcl_clr.rst_ .. include:: explain_gshhg.rst_ .. include:: explain_inside.rst_ Macros ------ Users may save their favorite operator combinations as macros via the file *grdmath.macros* in their current or user (~/.gmt) directory. The file may contain any number of macros (one per record); comment lines starting with # are skipped. The format for the macros is **name** = **arg1 arg2 ... arg2** : *comment* where **name** is how the macro will be used. When this operator appears on the command line we simply replace it with the listed argument list. No macro may call another macro. As an example, the following macro expects three arguments (radius x0 y0) and sets the nodes that are inside the given Cartesian circle to 1 and those outside to 0: **INCIRCLE** = **CDIST EXCH DIV** 1 **LE** : usage: r x y INCIRCLE to return 1 inside circle Marine geophysicist often need to evaluate predicted seafloor depth from an age grid. One such model is the classic *Parsons and Sclater* [1977] curve. It may be written .. math:: z(t) = \left \{ \begin{array}{rr} 2500 + 350 \sqrt{t}, & t \leq 70 \\ 6400 - 3200 \exp{\left (\frac{-t}{62.8}\right)}, & t > 20 \end{array} \right. A good cross-over age for these curves is 26.2682 Myr. A macro for this system is a bit awkward due to the split but can be written **PS77** = **STO@T POP** 6400 **RCL@T** 62.8 **DIV NEG EXP** 3200 **MUL SUB RCL@T** 26.2682 **GT MUL** 2500 350 **RCL@T SQRT MUL ADD RCL@T** 26.2682 **LE MUL ADD** : usage: age PS77 returns depth i.e., we evaluate both expressions and multiply them by 1 or 0 depending where they apply, and then add them. With this macro installed you can compute predicted depths in the Pacific northwest via:: gmt grdmath -R200/240/40/60 @earth_age_01m_g PS77 = depth_ps77.grd **Note**: Because geographic or time constants may be present in a macro, it is required that the optional comment flag (:) must be followed by a space.
