Pydip is a python program with the main objective to give a stereoplot reading practice platform by generating random planes, folds, faults and focal mechanisms. As a secondary future objective, for now not implemented, the software will be able to plot and elaborate structural measurements obtained on the field (similar to Stereonet).
The capabilities of the software are:
- Generate multiple random sets of planes
- Generate multiple random sets of folds
- Generate random focal mechanisms
- Data table view and selection
- Import and plot imported data
Pydip is able to generate n sets of random planes composed by a set number of planes. The program chooses a random dip direction and angle for every set and depending on that plane the planes will be generated with a normal distribuition with a random std value.
The parameters that can be tweaked are:
- Number of sets
- Number of planes
- Plot planes and/or poles
Pydip is able to generate n sets of random planes that follow random cilindrical fold parameters (axial plane and hinge line inclination etcetc).
The parameters that can be tweaked are:
- Number of sets of folds
- Number of planes for every fold limb
- Plot limb planes and/or poles
- Plot plane axis and/or hinge line
- Faults
- Better selection options
- Better import functions
- Statistics module
- 3D viewer for plotted structures
