iGMT stands for "Interactive GMT" or "Interactive Mapping of
|
|
Geoscientific Datasets". 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/).
