   rake = -90 or 270  normal
   rake =   0 or 360  sinstral, left-lateral
   rake = 180 or -180 dextral, right-lateral

MODL_flt_atr.gmt - interseismic slip distributions on all faults

MODL_flt_FFF_atr.gmt - interseismic slip distributions on fault number FFF (if +atr flag set)

Files contain fault attributes and quadrilaterals that can be used to make color plots of locking distributions. Since the header line for each fault segment has multiple attributes following the -Z, use awk to select the one to plot.

To plot the slip rate deficit for fault 1:

awk '{ if ($1 ==">") print $1,$2,$4; else print $1,$2 }' MODL_flt_001_atr.gmt  | psxy -Cpalette.cpt .... 

The entries on the segment header line are (in order):

1-2 ' > -Z '
3 fault_number 
4 slip rate deficit (mm/yr)
5 locking fraction (phi)
6 locking fraction 1-sigma uncertainty
7 strike-slip plate rate  (Okada U1; see Fig. 2)
8 dip-slip plate rate (U2)
9 fault opening plate rate (U3)
10 Rake angle on sub-segment
11 Sub-segment centroid longitude

13 Sub-segment centroid depth (in km, positive downward)
14 Node X-index
15 Node Z-index
16 Sub-segment X-index
17 Sub-segment Z-index
18 Fault sub-segment area (km^2)
19 Fault sub-segment moment (N-m)
