Changes in qgSurf plugin tools

Due to persisting plugin incompatibilities, related to Matplotlib, I've created a new qgSurf version, # 0.3.4. This version is made up by just two tools: "Best fit plane" and "DEM-plane intersection".
The removed 3D surfaces simulation and deformation tools are now available in a pure Python project, "simSurf", developed and tested in Linux Mint and published at: https://github.com/mauroalberti/simSurf.

Simulation and deformation of georeferenced geological surfaces: a pure Python implementation

A pure Python project for simulation and deformation of georeferenced geological surfaces is presented at:
https://github.com/mauroalberti/simSurf
It is an updated and Python-based, independent version of the simulation and deformation modules originally presented in the qgSurf plugin (vers. 0.3.3) for Quantum GIS. It is developed and tested in Linux Mint.
Two modules, "geosurface_simulation.py" and "geosurface_deformation.py" make possible to simulate and deform georeferenced surfaces (see example in Fig. below).

Example of a sheared and rotated sinusoidal surface with geographic parameters matching those of the Mt. Alpi - Mt. Raparo Aster DEM (Lucania, Southern Italy). The view is from NE to SW. Mt. Raparo is at the right. 3D visualization created with ArcScene (ESRI).
