About | ||
===== | ||
|
||
GMT is an open-source collection of command-line tools for manipulating geographic and | ||
Cartesian data sets (including filtering, trend fitting, gridding, projecting, etc.) and | ||
producing high-quality illustrations ranging from simple x–y plots via contour maps to | ||
artificially illuminated surfaces and 3D perspective views. It supports many map | ||
projections and transformations and includes supporting data such as coastlines, rivers, | ||
and political boundaries and optionally country polygons. | ||
|
||
|
||
Council | ||
------- | ||
|
||
As of August 2016, GMT development and maintenance is being guided by a GMT Steering | ||
Committee, led by Chair David Sandwell (Scripps) and members Dave Caress (MBARI), | ||
Steve Diggs (Scripps), Dan Bassett (GNS Science, New Zealand), and Khalid Soofi (ConocoPhillips). | ||
|
||
|
||
Support | ||
------- | ||
|
||
GMT could not have been designed without the generous support of several people: | ||
|
||
* The founders (Wessel and Smith) gratefully acknowledge A. B. Watts and the late W. F. | ||
Haxby for supporting their efforts on the original version 1.0 while they were their | ||
graduate students at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. | ||
* Doug Shearer and Roger Davis patiently answered many questions over e-mail. | ||
* The subroutine ``gauss`` was written and supplied by Bill Menke. | ||
|
||
Further development was made possible by grants and fellowships: | ||
|
||
* National Science Foundation grants | ||
`EAR-1948602 <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1948602>`__, | ||

and | ||
`EAR-9302272 <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=9302272>`__. | ||
* Versions 2.0–2.1 would not have been possible without the support from the HIGP/SOEST | ||
Post-Doctoral Fellowship program to Paul Wessel. | ||
* Walter H. F. Smith gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the C. H. and I. M. | ||
Green Foundation for Earth Sciences at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary | ||
Physics, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California at San Diego. | ||

||
History | ||
------- | ||
|
||
The GMT system was initiated in late 1987 at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia | ||
University by graduate students Paul Wessel and Walter H. F. Smith. Version 1 was | ||
officially introduced to Lamont scientists in July 1988. GMT 1 migrated by word of | ||
mouth (and tape) to other institutions in the United States, UK, Japan, and France and | ||
attracted a small following. Paul took a Post-doctoral position at SOEST in December | ||
1989 and continued the GMT development. Version 2.0 was released with an article in EOS, | ||
October 1991, and quickly spread worldwide. Version 3.0 in 1993 which was released with | ||
another article in EOS on August 15, 1995. A major upgrade to GMT 4.0 took place in Oct | ||
2004. Finally, in 2013 we released the new GMT 5 series, which are generally | ||
backwards compatible with GMT 4 syntax. Another major upgrade took place in 2019 with | ||
the release of GMT 6 and modern mode. GMT is used by tens of thousands of users | ||
worldwide in a broad range of disciplines. | ||
|

* Listen to this interview of Paul Wessel and Leonardo Uieda on the *Don't Panic | ||
Geocast* episode | ||
`"You are headed to a warm and sunny place" <http://www.dontpanicgeocast.com/?p=638>`__. | ||
* Walter Smith was also interviewed by *Don't Panic* on episode | ||
`"Take the toaster apart" <https://www.dontpanicgeocast.com/?p=742>`__ where he talks | ||
about the early history of GMT and other topics. | ||
* Read Paul Wessel's article `"The Origins of the Generic Mapping Tools: From Table Tennis to Geoscience" <https://doi.org/10.1029/2023CN000231>`__ from 2024. | ||
