**-p**\ [**x**\|\ **y**\|\ **z**]\ *azim*\ [/*elev*\ [/*zlevel*]][**+w**\ *lon0*/*lat0*\ [/*z0*]][**+v**\ *x0*/*y0*]
    Select perspective view and set the azimuth and elevation of the
    viewpoint [180/90]. When **-p** is used in consort with **-Jz** or
    **-JZ**, a third value can be appended which indicates at which
    z-level all 2D material, like the plot frame, is plotted (in
    perspective). [Default is at the bottom of the z-axis]. Use **-px**
    or **-py** to plot against the "wall" x = level or y = level
    (default is on the horizontal plane, which is the same as using
    **-pz**). For frames used for animation, note we fix the center of your
    data domain.  Specify another center using a particular
    world coordinate point with **+w**\ *lon0*/*lat0*\ [/*z0*]) which will
    project to the center of your page size, or specify the coordinates
    of the projected 2-D view point with **+v**\ *x0*/*y0*. When **-p** is
    used without any further arguments, the values from the last use of
    **-p** in a previous GMT command will be used (in modern mode this also supplies
    the previous **-Jz** or **-JZ** if doing a 3-D region).  Alternatively, you
    can perform a simple rotation about the z-axis by just giving the
    rotation angle.  Optionally, use **+v** or **+w** to select another
    axis location than the plot origin.
