# grdpaste(1)

Paste together two .grd files along a common edge.

## NAME

grdpaste - Paste together two *.grd* files along a common edge.

## SYNOPSIS

**grdpaste** *file\_a.grd file\_b.grd* **-G***outfile.grd* \[ **-V** \]

## DESCRIPTION

**grdpaste** will combine *file\_a.grd* and *file\_b.grd* into *outfile.grd* by pasting them together along their common edge. Files *file\_a.grd* and *file\_b.grd* must have the same dx, dy and have one edge in common. If in doubt, check with **grdinfo** and use **grdcut** and/or **grdsample** if necessary to prepare the edge joint.

- *file\_a.grd*

  One of two files to be pasted together.

- *file\_b.grd*

  The other of two files to be pasted together.

- **-G***outfile.grd*

  The name for the combined output.

## OPTIONS

- **-V**

  Selects verbose mode, which will send progress reports to stderr \[Default runs "silently"\].

## EXAMPLES

Suppose file\_a.grd is 150E - 180E and 0 - 30N, and file\_b.grd is 150E - 180E, -30S - 0, then you can make outfile.grd which will be 150 - 180 and -30S - 30N by:

grdpaste file\_a.grd file\_b.grd **-G**outfile.grd **-V**
