# PyGMT Ecosystem

PyGMT provides a Python interface to the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT), which is a command
line program that provides a wide range of tools for manipulating geospatial data and
making publication-quality maps and figures. PyGMT integrates well with the
making publication-quality maps and figures. It integrates well with the
[scientific Python ecosystem](https://scientific-python.org/), with [NumPy][] for its
fundamental array data structure, [pandas][] for tabular data I/O and [xarray][] for
raster grids/images/cubes I/O.
raster grids/images/cubes I/O. In addition to these core dependencies, it also relies on
several optional packages to provide additional functionality for users.
