# A.8 misc: Miscellaneous tools

At the moment, this package contains the programs dimfilter, which is an extension of grdfilter in that it allows for spatial directional filtering, psmegaplot which you can use to make large posters using a simple laserwriter, makepattern which generates raster patterns from GMT 3.0 icon files, gmt2kml which converts GMT table data to Google Earth's KML format, gmtdigitize which provides a GMT interface to a digitizing tablet via a serial port, gmtstitch which can be used to assemble pieces digitized lines into complete lines or polygons, gmtdp which performs line reduction using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm, kml2gmt which extracts GMT table data from Google Earth KML files, and nc2xy which can extract data from column-oriented netCDF files. The package is maintained by Paul Wessel. The increasingly popular utility ps2raster, which simplifies the rasterization of GMT PostScript to raster formats (see Appendix C), was moved to the general tools starting with GMT 4.2.0.
