I see the gshhg man page needs some updating to mention A - thanks. As for lower case c, the GMT gshhg man page says
Source is either W (World Vector Shoreline) or C (CIA World Data Bank II); lower case is used if a lake is a river-lake
so those are areas of rivers that are too wide to be a "line".
I have improved the gshhg GMT man page to include mention of the Atlas and A.
I was extracting information from gshhg v2.3.7 and ran across 4 distinct values for source:
source code with count
Commands I used to obtain those numbers:
I found docs on this page: https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/latest/supplements/gshhg/gshhg.html
It says, "Source is either W (World Vector Shoreline) or C (CIA World Data Bank II)"
I found this page: https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/pwessel/gshhg/
It lists the sources as:
World Vector Shorelines (WVS). CIA World Data Bank II (WDBII). Atlas of the Cryosphere (AC).
So, I'm guessing that A means "Atlas of the Cryosphere". Anyone know what lowercase 'c' means? Is it the same as uppercase 'C'?
