iGMT is a
Tcl/Tk software I developed with Alexander Braun and stands
for "Interactive Mapping of Geoscientific Datasets". iGMT
serves as a graphical user interface for the generic mapping
tools (GMT). Our program is used
at more than 250 institutions world-wide (we stopped counting
some years back)
to map geoscientific data and to teach GMT.
The most recent version of the software is available under a modified
GNU public
license here:
The main iGMT
project web site is outdated, but has a lot of additional
documentation, data, and such. A reference for iGMT is:

T. W. and Braun, A. (1998): New program maps geoscientific
data sets interactively. EOS Trans. AGU, 79,
505.
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project web site (outdated, but still useful)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.
- 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 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.
