# Deprecated GMT Defaults Names

Since GMT 5, we have organized the GMT default parameters logically by group and renamed several to be easier to remember and to group. Old and new names can be found in the table below. In addition, a few defaults are no longer recognized, such as N_COPIES, PS_COPIES, DOTS_PR_INCH, GMT_CPTDIR, PS_DPI, and PS_EPS, TRANSPARENCY.
