💧 bat2gts(1) — the bathy-to-GTS glow-up 💅

okay bestie, so bat2gts is a lil User Commands icon that lives in your terminal and does exactly one (1) thing, but it does it so well. it takes a bathymetry file and turns it into a GTS depth file. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

bat2gts — takes a bathymetry file (three columns: longitude, latitude (degree), depth (meters)) and generates a GTS depth file for the given domain.

like. three columns. lon, lat (in degrees, periodt), depth in meters. and boom — GTS depth file for whatever domain you asked for. it's giving cartography but make it cute 🌊

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bat2gts [OPTIONS]<BATHY

yes bestie, the bathymetry comes in through stdin — that <BATHY is the whole point. no cap. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

this manual page documents briefly the bat2gts command. that's it, that's the description. short and iconic. 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below. slay, standard, we love a consistent CLI 🧚

  • --long=V — set reference longitude to V (default 174 deg) 🌈
  • --lat=V — set reference latitude to V (default -41 deg) 🌈
  • --width=V — set domain width (default is 500 km) 📏
  • --depth=V — set reference depth to V (default is 5000 meters) 🌊
  • --coast=V — set coastline reference depth to V (default is 0.1 meters) 🏖️
  • --rel=T — set relative error allowed on bathymetry (default is 0.05) 🎯
  • --angle=V — rotation of V degrees (default is 0) 🔄
  • -v, --verbose — display info about the process 👀
  • -h, --help — display the help and exit. bye bestie 🫡
ngl, every single one of those defaults is doing heavy lifting on its own. if you don't pass anything, you get 174 deg / -41 deg / 500 km / 5000 meters / 0.1 meters / 0.05 / 0. no thoughts, just defaults. ✨
