This repository contains shell scripts, a helper program, and sample data for plotting the output of a historical land use model in the form of "circle diagrams". The circle diagram concept is introduced in Kay and Kaplan (2015) and described in detail in Hughes et al. (2018).
The sample data included here accompany the paper by Findley et al. (2022).
The following software is required to plot these diagrams:
- A fortran compiler to compile the helper program parsedata.f90 such as gfortran.
- The Generic Mapping Tools graphics package.
