worldrectgrid

grat = worldrectgrid(GI; width=(30,20), grid=nothing, annot_x=nothing)

or

grat = worldrectgrid(; proj="projection", width=(30,20), grid=nothing, annot_x=nothing)

Create a grid of lines (graticules) in projected coordinates. The projection system is extracted from the GI metadata.

• GI: A GMTgrid or GMTimage data type created with the worldrectangular function.

• proj: Pass a proj4 string or Symbol describing the projection. Alternatively pass a referenced GMTdataset from which the projection will be extracted.

• width: A scalar or two elements array/tuple with increments in longitude and latitude. If scalar, widthx = widthy.

• grid: Instead of using the width argument, that generates an automatic set of graticules, one may pass a two elements Vector{Vector{Real}} with the meridians (grid[1]) and parallels (grid[2]) to create.

• annot_x: By default, all meridians are annotated when grat is used in the plotgrid! function, but depending on the projection and the latlim argument used in worldrectangular we may have the longitude labels overlap close to the prime meridian. To minimize that pass a vector of longitudes to be annotated. e.g. annot_x=[-180,-150,0,150,180] will annotate only those longitudes.

Returns

A Vector of GMTdataset containing the projected meridians and parallels. grat[i] attributes store information about that element lon,lat.
