Animations of geological profiles with map traces

 

In the new 6.2 pygsf release (2022/02/06) it is possible to create figures and also animations that represent a set of parallel profiles in which each geological profile is coupled with the related map trace.

Currently, the produced maps (left in the above animation) can only represent the profile traces, apart from the topography (optionally with a shaded relief). 

The code to create the above animation is available in the Jupyter notebook:

Geologic profiles map animations - the Timpa San Lorenzo structure (Southern Italy)

Cross-section maps vs. profiles

 

The new pygsf release (v. 6.1.0) makes it possible to create and visualize directly in Jupyter, just using Python, topographic maps with superposed traces of parallel profiles, numbered by their ids as in the example below.

These map traces can be compared with the topographic vertical profiles displaying also geological information, for instance geological outcrops, that can be composed into an animation.

 

Next step would be to implement  the creation of animation with both the topographic vertical profile and a map with the corresponding map profile trace, so to make easier to relate each vertical profile with the related map trace.

The map traces and animation creations are detailed in this Jupyter notebook:
