Hi,All
I have a question while rotating horizontal component with sac. We
can use "rotate to GCP" to rotate N E into R T comp,but how to rotate back
into N E components? Is there an easy way to do this?
thanks for your help.
Best wishes

    In the help command for rotate, there are options for rotating "to" and
    "through" a fixed angle. It would be easy to write a macro that could
    give you back the N and E components. I would do test cases to make sure
    it works correctly for you.

    Here is a macro I use to do the "normal" rotation:

    r $1$.n $1$.e
    rtr
    rotate to gcp
    write $1$.r $1$.t
    r $1$.r
    chnhdr kcmpnm "radial"
    write over
    r $1$.t
    chnhdr kcmpnm "trnsvers"
    write over

    If it is named rotaate.m, one calls it for abc.n and abc.e using

    SAC> m rotate.m abc
