Here we introduce you to the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) which create postscript files of maps with your data on them. GMT is a collection of Unix programs each of which filling a different need in the task of creating a neat looking (and scalable, after all it's postscript) map. Those tools are best orchestrated in shell scripts. They gain their power from many command line options that sometimes seem a little odd (read: complex). To get rid off overwhelming panic when first starting to use GMT we got this lecture, right?
