Note

Updates for PyGMT based notebooks are carried out at irregular intervals. The GMT bash scripts are not maintained anymore.

Collection of GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) scripts and files (including digitized map content, colormaps, grid files etc.). All scripts should run with GMT versions >= 5.2.1 and < 6.0.0 . Each directory in this repository represents a single stand-alone application (individual manuals in pdf format are included as well):

Some directories include Jupyter Notebooks in which I use PyGMT, a Python interface for GMT (Tian et al., 2024) to generate the individual maps and plots (see the ▶️ symbol).


If you make use of the content in this repository please acknowledge GMT (e.g. Wessel et al., 2013; 2019), PyGMT (Tian et al., 2024), our published papers and/or my PhD thesis in whose framework several of the scripts and notebooks were developed:

Although I now work outside of academia as a data scientist, I provide these GMT/PyGMT examples and notebooks in the hope that they will be useful for other students, scientists or interested map creators.

Final figure outputs of a few examples are shown below. Details and further references can be found in the individual directories.
