Thanks for clarifying; I was thinking that all of the
arguments had to be together after the - sign and that was
obviously incorrect. It works now; thanks!<br>
<br>
And I'll definitely be all over version 2.1 once it graduates
from the alpha / beta stage...just a little nervous about doing RT
stuff for a Web page until I'm sure the release is stable.
Looking forward to it!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hi, Bob —
<div>This mixed bag of syntax options works for me: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><font face="Courier" size="2">#!/bin/sh</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier" size="2">buffsz=200000</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier" size="2">script='font.gs 3'</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier" size="2">args='-lm '$buffsz</font></div>
<div><font face="Courier" size="2">/usr/local/grads/bin/grads
$args -c "$script"</font></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Mark’s comment that you should be careful not to allocate
more memory than is available on your system is valid. If you
are using version 2.1 then the -m option is not needed — GrADS
will automatically allocate memory as needed to store the
metabuffer for your graphic. </div>

<p>All,</p>
<p> I'd like to make images of some larger datasets so
I need to use e.g., grads -m 20000 to expand the
buffer. However, when I try to use that particular
argument in a shell script (instead of from the command
line) the 20000000 trips it up; I've tried a bunch of
combinations and nothing seems to work. Is there
another way to expand the buffer when running in batch
mode? Thanks!
