<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>grdview</b>
reads a 2-D grid file and produces a 3-D perspective plot by
drawing a mesh, painting a colored/grayshaded surface made
up of polygons, or by scanline conversion of these polygons
to a rasterimage. Options include draping a data set on top
of a surface, plotting of contours on top of the surface,
and apply artificial illumination based on intensities
provided in a separate grid file. <i><br>
relief_file</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:22%;">2-D gridded data set to be
imaged (the relief of the surface). (See GRID FILE FORMAT
below.)</p>

<h2>GRID FILE FORMATS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> is
able to recognize many of the commonly used grid file
formats, as well as the precision, scale and offset of the
values contained in the grid file. When <b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> needs a
little help with that, you can add the suffix
<b>=</b><i>id</i>[<b>/</b><i>scale</i><b>/</b><i>offset</i>[<b>/</b><i>nan</i>]],
where <i>id</i> is a two-letter identifier of the grid type
and precision, and <i>scale</i> and <i>offset</i> are
optional scale factor and offset to be applied to all grid
values, and <i>nan</i> is the value used to indicate missing
data. See <b><A HREF="grdreformat.html">grdreformat</A></b>(1) and Section 4.17 of the GMT
Technical Reference and Cookbook for more information.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">When reading a
netCDF file that contains multiple grids, <b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> will
read, by default, the first 2-dimensional grid that can find
in that file. To coax <b><A HREF="GMT.html">GMT</A></b> into reading another
multi-dimensional variable in the grid file, append
<b>?</b><i>varname</i> to the file name, where
<i>varname</i> is the name of the variable. Note that you
may need to escape the special meaning of <b>?</b> in your
shell program by putting a backslash in front of it, or by
placing the filename and suffix between quotes or double
quotes. See <b><A HREF="grdreformat.html">grdreformat</A></b>(1) and Section 4.18 of the
GMT Technical Reference and Cookbook for more information,
particularly on how to read splices of 3-, 4-, or
5-dimensional grids.</p>

<a name="REMARKS"></a>
<h2>REMARKS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">For the
<b>−Qs</b> option: <i>PostScript</i> provides no way
of smoothly varying colors within a polygon, so colors can
only vary from polygon to polygon. To obtain smooth images
this way you may resample the grid file(s) using
<b><A HREF="grdsample.html">grdsample</A></b> or use a finer grid size when running
gridding programs like <b><A HREF="surface.html">surface</A></b> or
<b><A HREF="nearneighbor.html">nearneighbor</A></b>. Unfortunately, this produces huge
<i>PostScript</i> files. The alternative is to use the
<b>−Qi</b> option, which computes bilinear or bicubic
continuous color variations within polygons by using
scanline conversion to image the polygons.</p>
