Frank,
The point with GMT grids (but it doesn't restrict only to them) is that grids
can have both models. That's what GMT calls the grid and pixel registration.
The information on which model is used is contained in the GMT header
"Normal node registration used" for grid registration, or pixel-is-point,
and "Pixel node registration" (I think) in the other case.

Yes, I did and saw it there a couple of weeks ago.
