1. Preface
While GMT has served the map-making and data processing needs of scientists since 19881.1, the current global use was
heralded by the first official release in EOS Trans. AGU in the fall of 1991. Since then,
GMT has grown to become a standard tool for many users, particularly in the Earth and Ocean Sciences.
Development has at times been rapid, and numerous releases have seen the light of day since the early
versions. For a detailed history of the changes from release to release, see file ChangeLog
in the main GMT directory. For a nightly snapshot of ongoing activity, see the online
ChangeLog
page.
The success of GMT is to a large degree due to the input of the user community. In fact, most of the
capabilities and options in GMT programs originated as user requests.
We would like to hear from you should you have any suggestions for future enhancements and modification.
Please send your comments to
the GMT help list.
