            Global Relief Datasets
----------------------

By using grids named @earth_relief_\ *res*\ [_\ *reg*\ ] we download global relief grids (or only
the needed tiles) from the GMT server. Here, *rr* is a 2-digit integer specifying the grid resolution
in the unit *u*, where *u* is either **d**, **m** or **s** for arc degree, arc minute or arc second,
respectively.  Optionally, you can append _\ **g** or _\ **p** to specifically get the gridline-registered or
pixel-registered version (if they both exist).  If *reg* is not specified we will return
the pixel-registered version unless only the gridline-registered file is available.
The following codes for *rr*\ *u* and the optional *reg* are supported.  These grids are saved in
folders under your ~/.gmt/server/earth directory.  Files and tiles are only downloaded once and are
later accessed from ~/.gmt.  You can clear your data via gmt :doc:`clear` data and you can pre-download
data via gmt :doc:`gmtget`.  Dimensions are listed for pixel-registered grids; gridline-registered
grids increment dimensions by one.
