Creating basic geological profile animations

In the new release (v. 6.0.0) of pygsf it is possible to create animations made up of parallel geological profiles.

An example is in the following gif:

The red circles represent fault intersections, while the green thick lines (PL) are Mesozoic carbonatic outcrops and the grey ones (Qt) are Quaternary outcrops. The area is in Southern Apennines (Timpa di San Lorenzo carbonatic structure). The profiles are derived from a geological outcrop shapefile and a topographic DEM, both loaded in a Jupyter notebook using pygsf.

 

pygsf is a Python module (yet unpublished) for the processing of geological data.

The processing may be performed for instance in a Jupyter notebook.

The plan is to incorporate this module in a QGIS plugin, qgSurf, created for the processing of geological data.


For those interested, the animation derivation is detailed in this Jupyter notebook:
