How to finalize a PS

[hydrocoast]

Hi,

I would like to ask how to finalize a PS file when using GMT.jl functions such as GMT.coast and GMT.basemap, except for GMT.gmt.

The following returns an error due to not finalized PS:

julia> using GMT
julia> coast(J="X12/6", R="g", W=:thinnest)
julia> fname = GMT.fname_out(Dict())[1]
julia> psconvert("-TG -A -Fout.png  $fname")
psconvert [ERROR]: /tmp/GMTjl_tmp.ps: GMT PS format detected but file is not finalized. Maybe a -K in excess? out.png could be messed up.

This works properly since the -K option is turned off:

julia> gmt("pscoast -JX12/6 -Rg -Wthinnest -P > out.ps")
julia> psconvert("-TG -A -Fout.png  out.ps")

I thought it was good if GMT.psconvert works in the former condition, but no good idea occurs to me.
I am now watching functions set_KO and finalize_PS.

Thank you,

Hi,
Don't do it that way. The default output is a file called GMT_tmp.ps that is written in your tmp directory. If you want to have it converted into another format then PS, use the fmt="format" specification. If you want to save under a different name use the savefig="fname" mechanism. So

using GMT
coast(J="X12/6", R="g", W=:thinnest, fmt="PNG", show=true)

or

coast(J="X12/6", R="g", W=:thinnest, savefig="out.PNG", show=true)
``

Thank you.
I missed the keyword arguments fmt= and savefig=. I get it.
