A graphical user interface (GUI) facilitating fluvial geomorphic covariance structure analysis (GCS).

Geomorphic Covariance Structure (GCS) analysis GUI

The gcs_gui.py script in this package when ran will pull up a graphical-user interface / GUI that simplifies the process of multi-flow stage GCS analysis.

For more information on GCS analysis please reference my PI Gregory Pasternack's video which is part of a series introducing the topic. To see real-world outputs of this software within an appropriate scientific context please reference this recording of my graduate/MS exit seminar.

Package contents

• Graphic User Interface (GUI) executable script (gui_tkinter.py)
• Python files storing the underlying methods
• Copy of RapidLasso's LAStools software .exe command line executables (LAStools/).
• Copy of 'Breeze' GUI theme (ttk-Breeze-master/).

Pre-requisite packages

• arcpy (+ Spatial Analyst licence) -- Comes with the ArcPro Python 3 default environment. Clone environment to enable external package installation.
• scipy for statistical analyses.
• pillow to power pop up image outputs.
• seaborn for publication-ready static plotting.
• plotly for Sankey diagram plotting.

Please read our documentation before attempting to use this GUI!

gcs-analysis-tools's Issues

Polish then test nested analysis functions

Test stage based analysis functions

Stage based analysis functions should be fully operational!

However I need some data to test with. This issue can be closed if we get all desired outputs.

Add figures to the documentation showing stage, nested, and river builder outputs

Debug export to river builder part of the GUI
