GMT6 Released
After a six-year development cycle following the release of GMT 5, the GMT team have now released the latest GMT version 6.0.0. The new version is simpler to learn (yet compatible with older scripts), adds movie-making, and brings many new and exciting features such as automated legends, insets and subplots. We also have a new website [https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.generic-mapping-tools.org] with links to a new discourse forum, updated documentation, the GitHub repository for bug reports and feature requests, the software installers, and more. Today also heralds the release of our Open Access publication about GMT 6 [https:&#x2F;&#x2F;agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com&#x2F;doi&#x2F;full&#x2F;10.1029&#x2F;2019GC008515].
GMT is a command line set of tools but it can also be used from within Matlab [https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;GenericMappingTools&#x2F;gmtmex] or Julia [https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;GenericMappingTools&#x2F;GMT.jl] and a Py [https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;GenericMappingTools&#x2F;pygmt] interface is also on works.
