The Generic Mapping Tools, GMT, is an open source collection of tools for manipulating geographic and Cartesian data sets (including filtering, trend fitting, gridding, projecting, etc.) and producing PostScript illustrations ranging from simple x–y plots via contour maps to artificially illuminated surfaces and 3D perspective views. This link will take you to an impressive collection of figures made with GMT. The GMT Julia wrapper was designed to work in a way the close as possible to the command line version and yet to provide all the facilities of the Julia language. In this sense, all GMT options are put in a single text string that is passed, plus the data itself when it applies, to the gmt() command. However, we also acknowledge that not every one is comfortable with the GMT syntax. This syntax is needed to accommodate the immense pool of options that let you control all details of a figure but that also makes it harder to read/master.
