psclose function

Finalize GMT Map

Call GMT to finalize a map and save in postscript format.

psclose(file=getOption("gmt.file"), trailer=TRUE)

Arguments

• file: filename where the map is saved.
• trailer: whether a closing trailer should be appended to the postscript file.

Details

A closing trailer is required if the last plotting command included -K (default behaviour).

Returns

NULL, but the map is finalized and saved in postscript format.

Note

This function performs two tasks:

1. Appends a closing trailer to the postscript file (optional).
2. Removes GMT files in temporary directory.
