iGMT is a Tcl/Tk
software I developed with Alexander Braun and stands for
"Interactive Mapping of Geoscientific Datasets". iGMT provides a
graphical user interface for the generic mapping tools
(GMT). Our
program is used world-wide to map geoscientific data and to teach
GMT.
The most recent version of the software is available under a modified
GNU public
license here:
We accept bug reports, but the development is frozen, and the
main
iGMT project web site is outdated. However, it has a
lot of additional documentation, data, and such.
A reference for iGMT is:

A. (1998): New program maps geoscientific data sets

People who like GMT and mapping might also be interested in
the following items:
- The main iGMT
project web site (outdated, but still useful)
- Geoscience data, such as geopotential and plate velocity grd files at
the
iGMT
project's Earth Science datasets web page, as well as a
list of other dataset sources on the web.

Computing Environment (UGESCE)
- The
Solid Earth Research and Teaching Environment (SEATREE)
project.

across disciplines. EOS Trans. AGU, 90, 2009
(PDF).
- My spherical harmonics analysis/synthesis software packages
shana and shsyn which use
GMT respectively
Netcdf grd files for I/O, and interoperate with the
seismic
tomography models from Becker & Boschi
(2001). The newest version of
shansyn is available here.
- A
PDF file with all GMT colormaps as of 3.4.3. (Something
like that might be included in the newer GMT versions.) See
also
this
representation, and
cpt-city
for colormaps galore.
- My experimental GMT surface-like wrapper routine
for
SSRFPACK
by Renka which allows to interpolate irregular data on a
sphere (e.g. the surface of the Earth) to a regular NetCDF
grid. You can download the gzipped
tar file for ssrf_surface which has a README file with a
few explanations (last revision: 01/05/06). This
is not a finished product but a mere suggestion of
how you might use SSRF routines instead of GMT surface. (Now
included, differently, in GMT itself.)
