Hi Sam:<br>
<br>
I get the same behavior, but if you precede the "basemap" call with
a "set mpdset hires", it seems to work.<br>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am generating standard wave height charts in various
parts of the world using grads and I recently ran into an
issue that confused me using basemap.gs in one of my
scripts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want the best land representation possible, so I used
the high res option with basemap (e.g. basemap L 0 1 H).
I've compared the land using the high res option with the
land using the medium res option.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In areas surrounding the US, the land using the high res
option looks much better. However, this does not appear to
be the case in other places I've checked around the world
(e.g. Portugal, Indonesia, South Africa). As an example,
I've attached 2 images for Portugal. In the first image
(basemap_mres) I've used the medium res option with basemap.
In the second image (basemap_hires), I've used the high res
option. As you can see, the land is significantly degraded
using the high res option.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As a sanity check, I re-downloaded the high res lpoly and
opoly files, but I get the same thing. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As always, any help on this matter is greatly
appreciated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best Regards,</div>
