Cartesian linear

Xwidth[/height] or xx-scale[/y-scale]

Give the width of the figure and the optional height. The lower-case version x is similar to X but expects an x-scale and an optional y-scale.

The Cartesian linear projection is primarily designed for regular floating point data. To plot geographical data in a linear projection, see the upstream GMT documentation Geographic coordinates. To make the linear plot using calendar date/time as input coordinates, see the GMT documentation Calendar time coordinates.

    # Cartesian projection
