GMT or Generic Mapping Tools is an open source software which has about 80 command line tools for manipulating geographic and Cartesian data sets (including filtering, trend fitting, projecting etc) and illustrating PostScript ranging from x-y plots until 3D perspective views, such as river, limit state design, altitude mountain, ocean depth etc. GMT supports over 30 map projections and transformation and also GMT supplements add 40 more specialized and discipline-specific tools. to make GMT runs well, it requires supporting data such as GSHHG and DCW. GMT is developed and maintained by Paul Wessel, Walter H. F. Smith, Remko Scharroo, Joaquim Luis and Florian Wobbe, with help from a global set of volunteers, and is supported by the National Science Foundation. It is released under theGNU Lesser General Public License version 3 or any later version.
commonly, GMT is used to map seismic zone and meteorology for displaying earthquake distribution, tsunami modelling etc. the superiority of GMT is that the software is free.
