Description
We have some data in points.xy:
1 45.8 17.7
2 45.8 17.8
3 48.6 20.8
If we want to select points inside a rectangle with gmtselect, this command works:
gmt select points.xy -i2,1 -R17/18/45/46
17.7 45.8
17.8 45.8
However, if we want to do the same with a polygonfile, e.g. in region.d:
17.0 45.0
17.0 46.0
18.0 46.0
18.0 45.0
17.0 45.0
it fails:
gmt select points.xy -i2,1 -Fregion.d
gmtselect: File region.d does not have at least 2 columns required for polygons (found 1)
gmtselect: Syntax error -F option: region.d does not have at least 2 columns with coordinates
On the other hand, if we have exactly the same points in a file points1.xy with only lon,lat columns:
17.7 45.8
17.8 45.8
20.8 48.6
it works:
gmt select points1.xy -Fregion.d
17.7 45.8
17.8 45.8

This was a bug. The -i settings shall only affect the main data input and not any auxiliary files given via options -C, -F, or -L. Fixed in r15580.

Thanks for the fix. I've applied it in GMT 5.2.1 and works perfectly.
