corescan-plotting 0.9

corescan_plotting

=======

corescan_plotting contains tools for analyzing and plotting outputs from various core scanning instruments located at the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center.

Setup

For USGS python users, I recommend using Miniconda.

Install the appropriate Python 3.x Miniconda installer. If on Windows, choose Just Me and for location, something like C:\Users\USERNAME\Miniconda3, but this is up to you. If this is your first tie working with conda environments, IOOS has a useful guide on setting up conda on both macos and windows and is perhaps a good place to start before creating a new conda environment for the corescan_plotting package.

Create a conda environment (see: conda.io) with python=3.7

Once created, activate the environment and install corescan_plotting with:

conda install -c spmls corescan_plotting

This installs the latest stable version.

opencv is a tricky dependency to install, you may have to reinstall it with: pip install opencv-python==4.2.0.32 if

corescan_plotting fails to import in python.

Usage

See examples.ipynb for more detailed examples.

from corescan_plotting import ct

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt



im, xml = ct.ct_in() # this will open up a window to load in a Geotek orthogonal view image and associated xml file

ct.ct_plot(im, xml) # this will plot the loaded ct file

plt.show()
