Overview

This class provides a native extension accessing the programs of the Generic Mapping Tools; an open source collection of about 80 command-line 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

An example of usage:

require 'gmt'

common = { file: 'output.ps', R: '0/3/0/2', J: 'x1i' }

GMT.session do |gmt|
  gmt.psxy('dots.xy',
           common.merge(
             position: :first,
             S: 'c0.50c',
             G: 'blue'))
  gmt.psxy('dots.xy',
           common.merge(
             position: :last,
             S: 'c0.25c',
             G: 'red'))
end

Those familiar with GMT will recognise the -R (range) and -J (projection) options which are now keys for the program options hash.

The session

All GMT functions (modules in the GMT parlance) require a session context, and an instance of the GMT class is exactly such a context.

gmt = GMT.new

There are no arguments for the constructor.

A session object is also yielded by the GMT.session class method:

GMT.session do |gmt|
  # do something with gmt
end

GMT functions

Each GMT function is available as instance method, and each has the same signatures: several arguments, typically input files, followed by a single options hash. The options hash corresponds to the command-line options of the GMT program; hence the shell command

gmt makecpt -Cgebco depths.txt -i2 -Z -E24 > my_depths.cpt

would be replicated by the Ruby

gmt = GMT.new
gmt.makecpt('depths.txt',
            :C => 'gebco', :i => 2, :Z => nil, :E => 24, :> => 'my_depths.cpt')

Note that

  • the argument(s) (the input file 'depths.txt') preceed(s) the options hash

  • the options hash has keys which are symbols

  • options which lack arguments correspond to hash keys with nil values :Z => nil.

  • the output redirection is also treated as hash option, with key :> and value which is the output file.

PostScript functions

When creating complex PostScript plots one needs to make several calls to GMT functions, to use the -O and -K options, and to append output of the second and subsequent calls (rather than overwriting). This is tiresome and error-prone on the command-line, and more so in the “options hash” representation in the Ruby module.

So we add some syntatactic sugar for these PostScript functions: if the options hash has the keys :position (with values one of :first, :middle, or :last) and :file (with the value of the ouptut file), then the -O and -K options and the output redirection are handled by the class. So one might write

gmt = GMT.new
gmt.psbasemap(
