This public-domain software generates PostScript images. It requires the netCDF library, available via anonymous ftp from unidata.ucar.edu in /pub/netcdf .
GMT is an open source collection of ~60 tools for manipulating geographic and Cartesian data sets (including filtering, trend fitting, gridding, projecting, etc.) and producing Encapsulated PostScript File (EPS) illustrations ranging from simple x-y plots via contour maps to artificially illuminated surfaces and 3-D perspective views. GMT supports ~30 map projections and transformations and comes with support data such as coastlines, rivers, and political boundaries. GMT is developed and maintained by Paul Wessel and Walter H. F. Smith with help from a global set of volunteers, and is supported by the National Science Foundation. It is released under the GNU General Public License.
The GMT program is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.soest.hawaii.edu in the gmt directory .

A series of imagines reconstructing the alignments of landmasses in the Southwest Pacific from 100 million years ago to the present. The animation unfortunately cannot be shown here, but can be displayed on a PC with GRASP (4.0(b)). Individual GIF frames are also vailable, similar to the sample frame which shows 50 million years ago.
These images are available via anonymous ftp from
