Description
Hello,
I'm having problems using psxy to fill polygons that encompass the poles. No problems drawing the outlines, just filling using -G. I've also tried using gmtspatial to clip at the map boundary first, this helps a bit.
I'm using Version 5.3.0_r16840 [64-bit].
Attached is a sample script, two different .gmt files (exported from GPlates) that both cause problems, and two maps to show the difference between using gmtspatial and just using psxy. Hope these help.
A fix was made last year, which did help, but I guess not in all cases.
Thanks,
Kara

Thanks, I found polygons 31, 49, and 78 caused the wrapping and wrote a test script (test/psxy/badpols.sh) showing these failures. It has been added to our test suite (it currently fails, of course) and we will work on fixing this problem. This is a bit different that what I fixed earlier in that the map region is not global but regional, and somehow this now fails.

My latest attempt seems to have fixed at least there. Could you please check again and even other cases to see if there are still issues? In r17369.

Hi Paul,
I just checked out the latest version in the repository (r17378) and ran a few scripts that had previously caused me problems. The plotting looks great and I couldn't see any banding at the poles!! Thank you!!
One thing I thought to note <see attached files>... With certain input files (e.g. 203Ma.xy), the attached script seems to hang without finishing. A ps file is created - which I can indeed open, but it seems that a basemap isn't drawn. Yet when I use v5.2.1_r15220 there are no such problems. This same script works on other input files (e.g. 200 Ma). This probably isn't major, but I thought to flag it.
Thanks again,
Kara

Interesting. Nasty polygon crosses very close to the pole and hence the longitude changes too rapidly even after resampling. I added finer resampling when close to poles and it seems to work so far, but I suspect if a polygon crosses within inches of the pole then it may not be enough. Give it a try; in r17528.
