=====

GMT is an open-source collection of command-line tools for manipulating geographic and
7+
Cartesian data sets (including filtering, trend fitting, gridding, projecting, etc.) and
8+
producing high-quality illustrations ranging from simple x–y plots via contour maps to
9+
artificially illuminated surfaces and 3D perspective views. It supports many map
10+
projections and transformations and includes supporting data such as coastlines, rivers,
11+
and political boundaries and optionally country polygons.

The Steering Committee
15+
----------------------
16+
17+
As of August 2024, the GMT development and maintenance is being guided by a GMT Steering
18+
Committee, with members David Caress, Dongdong Tian, Federico Esteban, Joaqium Luis,
19+
Remko Scharroo, Walter Smith, and Xiaohua (Eric) Xu.
20+
21+
Support
22+
-------
23+
24+
GMT could not have been designed without the generous support of several people:
25+
26+
* The founders (Wessel and Smith) gratefully acknowledge A. B. Watts and the late W. F.
27+
Haxby for supporting their efforts on the original version 1.0 while they were their
28+
graduate students at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.
29+
* Doug Shearer and Roger Davis patiently answered many questions over e-mail.
30+
* The subroutine ``gauss`` was written and supplied by Bill Menke.
31+
32+
Further development was made possible by grants and fellowships:
33+
34+
* National Science Foundation grants

46+
* Versions 2.0–2.1 would not have been possible without the support from the HIGP/SOEST
47+
Post-Doctoral Fellowship program to Paul Wessel.
48+
* Walter H. F. Smith gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the C. H. and I. M.

History
53+
-------
54+
55+
The GMT system was initiated in late 1987 at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia
56+
University by graduate students Paul Wessel and Walter H. F. Smith. Version 1 was
57+
officially introduced to Lamont scientists in July 1988. GMT 1 migrated by word of
58+
mouth (and tape) to other institutions in the United States, UK, Japan, and France and
59+
attracted a small following. Paul took a Post-doctoral position at SOEST in December
60+
1989 and continued the GMT development. Version 2.0 was released with an article in EOS,
61+
October 1991, and quickly spread worldwide. Version 3.0 in 1993 which was released with
62+
another article in EOS on August 15, 1995. A major upgrade to GMT 4.0 took place in Oct
63+
2004. Finally, in 2013 we released the new GMT 5 series, which are generally
64+
backwards compatible with GMT 4 syntax. Another major upgrade took place in 2019 with
65+
the release of GMT 6 and modern mode. GMT is used by tens of thousands of users
66+
worldwide in a broad range of disciplines.
67+
68+
More detail on the history of GMT:

71+
Geocast* episode
72+
`"You are headed to a warm and sunny place" <http://www.dontpanicgeocast.com/?p=638>`__.
73+
* Walter Smith was also interviewed by *Don't Panic* on episode
74+
`"Take the toaster apart" <https://www.dontpanicgeocast.com/?p=742>`__ where he talks
75+
about the early history of GMT and other topics.
76+
* 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.
