It integrates the processing of various Earth +science datasets with a Tcl/Tk graphical user interface for the +generic mapping tools (GMT). + +iGMT software is intended to assist in the creation of GMT scripts and +has built-in data processing capabilities for raster data sets such as +topography, sea-floor age, free air-gravity, the geoid, and various +polygon data files such as earthquake hypocentre lists or hot-spot +locations. Clicking on "Map it!" when running iGMT produces a GMT +script whose postscript output is converted and displayed as a GIF +image. + +iGMT is used world-wide at more than 120 institutions for everyday +map-making and teaching GMT. + +iGMT itself is distributed under the GNU public license. In addition, +iGMT is not to be used for any military purposes or for any other +activities that are against the spirit as expressed in the Student +Pugwash Pledge (http://www.igc.org/pugwash/pledge/). |
