Thank you William for quick response in answer my question.
I already did your suggestion, but when I use show command like this:
yes? set data bathy_input.btm
yes? show data
the result like this:
currently set data sets:
1> C:\Program Files\TMAP\fer_dsets\data\bathy_input.btm (default)
name title I
J K L
ps ps 1:197 1:169 ... ...
and I also try this command:
yes? set grid ps
grid bathymetry
name axis # pts start end
longitude longitude
197mr 114.34e(114.34)
115.18e(115.18)
latitude latitude 169r 8.774s 8.052s
normal Z
normal T
So, the number of points in x direction is not 180 points.
I try to make sure the format of my data, and I am completely sure that the format is f12.3.
I have no idea to fix this kind of problem.
I please for any help and suggestion.
Thank you in advance.
Kindest regards,
dessy

You need to specify a format, number of columns (and possibly the order of reading).
Also you need to explicitly define the grid called bathymetry, not just the axes
> yes? define axis/x=114.3389435E:115.1776276E:0.00453/unit=degree longitude
> yes? define axis/y=8.0546379S:8.7746868S:0.00453/unit=degree latitude
define grid/x=longitude/y=latitude bathymetry
file/format=(186f14.3)/var=ps/grid=bathymetry/columns=186 bathy_input.btm
That should work if each row contains all the 186 x-values for a single y, and moves down one row for each y. Otherwise, adjust format and columns. If the order of x and y are switched, use the /order=yx qualifier on FILE.
