GMT Learning Record

"1" Origin

The solid mechanics teacher left a job, using GMT to draw the stress distribution of the abroad crust subduction mantle wedge. The corresponding formula for Donald L. Turcotte and Gerald Schubert is written in Geodynamics , and to complete the work focus on using GMT.

"2" Start

"2.1" Download install GMT5

GMT is open source software, the home page is in http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu, which has software package download, installation Guide, and GMT User manual. Because the official strongly recommended the use of GMT5, so the GMT5. Follow the installation Guide to install on my ubuntu15.04, no problem, just don't know how to install the manual.

"2.2" Familiar with GMT

Official online has cookbook, looked for a while, a little annoyed, learned a bit about the way of working. Probably gave a template, the user by adjusting the parameters to make the template look like, I used origin also saved several templates. But this is obviously not the point, but the point is how to express the data.

Now do not want to see cookbook, from other places to find a tutorial http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ecalais/teaching/gmt/gmt.html, just started to see (2015.10.05).
