Overview

About

Maintained by Arni MagnussonFirst published 2005-09-3018 releasesCRAN page ↗

Interface between the GMT map-making software and R, enabling the user to manipulate geographic data within R and call GMT commands to draw and annotate maps in postscript format. The gmt package is about interactive data analysis, rapidly visualizing subsets and summaries of geographic data, while performing statistical analysis in the R console.
